RUBBISH IN STREETS
Sir,--At odd intervals someone writes concerning the dirty appearance of the main streets—paper, peelings, etc., lying everywhere. There are by-laws prohibiting any person ta sweep rubbish on to the streets and throw rubbish peelings or paper on to the street, and yet the dirty practice is allowed to go on unchecked. Twice during the past three weeks I have seen banana skins and apple peelings thrown on to the street from stationary cars in St. Hill Street, and the i rubbish is always with us. Why does not the City Council enforce those by-laws, and help remove the stigma that Wanganui is one of the dirtiest towns in New Zealand? Incidentally, a few fines would be acceptable to the city coffers.—l am. etc., "WANGANUI CITIZEN.”
