mutter even of still greater importance as regards the public health is the
cleansing daily of the public dustbins. Into these receptables all sorts of refuse
are thrown, such as stinking fish, dead dogs and cats, the contents of privies,

of the offensive smell. Owing to the want of back-yards, it is impossible to
do away with public dustbins; and the only way of remedying the evil of them
is to have their entire contents removed every day.
I am,
Gentlemen,
Your obedient Servant,
JOHN LIDDLE.
