(Reoeived May 28,1046 a ml London, May 27, Beater's Pretoria correspondent says thab optimism with regard bo the peace is hardly Justified by solid .acts.

INSANITARY YARDS.

I TO THIS EDITOR. Sia,—ln your report of tht Borough Council meeting of Monday night, appearing in tonight's • Guardian,' you Btate, 'The Inspector of Nuiaaoces stated in his report t bat the yards were in good condition, except a pig yard ab Mr Stephenson's saleyards which was in au insanitary condition.* This gentl.maa evidently wrote his report a fortnight ago, and having co muoh time on hie hands fo got to revise It. The facts are as follows i This Inspector called upon me last Friday week {just after the heavy rain) aod informed me my pig pens must be cleaned up. As he bad been .peoinJ-fy instructed to took alter my welfare I thanked him, and said i would see to r, though tbey were in bo worse state than tiny persons back premises ab that slme, with the result) thab they were cleaned out and re-sbingied within 43 hours of his notice. I then rung up the Town Clerk and a ked him to send his inspector along to pass his opinion on them, and after nearly a week he came aod expressed his entire satisfaction with them, and was pleased I had so responded to his /special instructions. Now, Mr Editor, without wishing to find fault with our Inspector of Nuiaan.es, I consider having made one statement to the detriment of my yards, he should have gone a little further and made another in stating thab they had been attended to, as reading your paper as it is written, has a tendency to plant* my premises in au undesirable position. My yards and pig pans aro a great doal cleaner than the majority of the footpaths in the north east portion of the Borough, whera you have only bo step off your own premises on to the foo paths to get over the shoe tops in mud. If a little more time were devoted to this nuisance, it would bo n. >re beneficial .0 the burgesses than rushing after a mad scare, especially where no unoleaoness existb. Thanking you, I am, etc., HSHHY SXEPHEHSOK,
