CLEAN The STREETS.

1t is often asked, and always after
showers of rain, why doesn't the
Government clean our streets? They
are generally in an exceedingly dirty
condition after 4 rainfall, and very
dusty in dry weather. Occasionally
they are scraped and cleaned, but
very occasionally. Generally they
are left alone, and very generally.
Manure accumulates in quantities at
the sides of the roads and fills up the
cutters. 1t makes the grass thrive,
but it is not healthy. Ammonia in
some forms is medically beneficial,
but in the form in which we get it,
as steam from horse manure, after
rain, it is not medically beneficial,
though it may be beneficial, Indirect
ly, to medical men. If small gang
of prisoners were kept constantly
engaged in repairing our roads, re-
moving the refuse and rubbish, filling
up the drains in the center of the
streets (Kaahumanu for instance),
and clearing those at the sides, then
the Minister of the Interior, in whose
power it is to make such improve
ments, would have general blessings
poured upon his head and be the
means of preventing the uttcrancc
of many words that are not blessings.
The Minister is attempting to i'm
prove our water supply, and we ask
him to devote little attention to the
constant repairing scraping and
cleansing Of our streets, not forget
ting new crossing stones at some of
the corners. If the work be rcgu-
larly done it will not he so eXpen-
sive as if seldom done, and the result
will be found beneficial to all, except
perhaps TO the doctors. Let us have
less ammonia in its unadulterated
form. We feel sure that our emerge
tic Road d-Supervisor Mr., Hart will
be only too willing to lend his valua-
BILE assistance and cooperation.

EARLY CLOSING.

EDITOR BULLETIN In several of
your late issues, you have alluded to
base ball and cricket, and urged the
young men to take the field and push
those sports with vigor for the COM
ing season. That is very good so
far as it goes; but / think that if
you could impress upon leading
business men the advisability of an
early closing movement, you would
confer benefit on large number.
The Bank closes at z. NJ. on Sat
urdays, and it strikes me that if the
young men employed there from 9
to 3, need the whole of Saturday
afternoon for relaxation, those clerks
who arc confined to stores and offices
from Z A. NJ. TO 5 Z. NJ, and some
times longer, need it still more. L
think that movement to close all
the principal stores at l p. NJ. on
Saturday, would soon meet with
general favor. A CLERK.
