 have received a most interesting note from Mr. Willis J. Mlnerlreative to the flushing Of our sewers, which was com- plained of in last Sundays columns and the Sunday previous. It gives me genuine pleasure to give extracts from Mir. Milner, knowing the public are deeply concerned in this matter, and that any statement made by Mir. Milner will satisfy our people of the thoroughness and efficiency of our sewerage system. It is gratifying to learn that the flushing desired by. us does go on; but it is done underground. MT. Milnsr says: "Each line of these sanitary sewers is provided with an underground flush tank, which is filled by pipe from the water works, and when filled empties itself automatically every few hours into the want of which you complain, goes on auto matically and regularly unseen by the public.

Milner for his kind and explanatory letter, and am confident it will relieve many anxious hearts.

 Cannot the enforcement of the cattle law become one of the issues in the municipal campaign? There must be some means of redress to our people.
