CORRESPONDENCE

Canvassing v. City Council.

(To the Editor.)

Sir,—Allow mo through tho medium of yoar valuable paper to make a remark or two on the meeting of the City [Council re candidates for Harbour Board. I saw in your remarks upon that meeting that some Councillors saw no objection why anyone should object to canvassing. Yet, only last week, in thoir advertisement for a clerk, and ono for clerk and draughtsman, it was stated that any person directly or indirectly canvassing any member of the Council would be disqualified. Is that only a farce ? If not, what is sauce for the goose must (or ought to) be sauce for the gander, am, &c, Fair Play. .

Impure Water.

(To tho Editor.) Sir,—l observe in your iseuo of the 11th inst. you give mention of the "excep tional purity " of the Auckland water. I am sorry to say, with a great many others here in this district of Brighton, that such is not the case with tho water as now sup plied by the pipes, but the very opposite as regards taste and smell. Probably it may be said Parnell water iB not Auck land water. The wator as now supplied is simply abominable, with a taste and smell of tar something like goudron and petroleum, offensive even to wash one's hands in. The "exceptional purity" is contaminated by the filthy oakum used in packing the joints for the lead, a penny larthing economy and blunder which is the cause oi the misery to so many here who have no rain-water tanks. Is there any means of obliging, or even inducing, the authorities to remedy the stupid blunder, or at least control the evil? If economy were the first order of the day, they should have used turned and bored joints, which would have been twenty per cent, saving on the line of pipes, as is in Glasgow now, and years ago. If they would only use clean hemp instead of filthy oakum, it would pre vent _an increase of the misery. »nd it will take a year or two to dissolve what is now in (of tho tar.) The Gas Company ÜB e respectable clean homp. The use of filthy oikum is what the French ca\\ Uconomie dot louts dcs chanddles—in waterworks intended for human use as dis gusting as it is ueeful.-Youn,, etc., Alex.
