(To the Editor.) Sir,—May I crave tho insertion of the fol lowing as a " wrong that needs insistence," with reference to tho refuse on the Now North Road. Two holes woro bored this morning in the refuse deposit to a dopth of 3 feet, and at a distance back from the edge ofthe same of 6 feet and 12 feet, and a thermometer was put down which registered 140deg. and 128deg. Fahr. respectively, and a quantity of steam was being emitted. I am informed by an expert that any emis sion therefrom at a heat less than 212deg. (water boil), is infectious and highly dan gerous to health, yet there aro some medi cal men who aro ready to assert that thero is no nuisance or danger to tho health of the near inhabitants. —I am, etc., K.W.S.
