AN OPEN LETTER.

To DR.. J. S B. Pratt, President of the
Board of Health:
Dear Sir-As a taxpayer and one
who must actually work to earn the
wherewithaI to pay, ! earnestly pro
test against the useless waste Of
money in the inspection as it is car
ried on.
Every right-minded person is as any
ious as the Board of Health to rid the
city of mosquitoes, and will follow eX-
actly the published regulations, even
though he should not consider them
necessary. And the average person
will do this quite as honestly without
inspection and lawyers threats as
with. rs it not time, then, to ser
arate the sheep from the goats,
note the places where nothing objec-
tionaEle was found at the beginning Of
the campaign nor has since been
found, and cease sending men m
gangs to these places?
AS a heavy taxpayer, there is q
feeling of intense evaporation on sec.
ing ones clean place invaded by five
husky men with one little tin pan, and
knowing that it is by ones increased
taxes that they must be paid, when
one has just returned from a drive
I out Kalakaua avenue and across the
/ first street that leads to Fort de Rus
! sy. With that smell in ones nostrils,
! and the memory Of the filthy pools
and ponds covered with moss and uu-
cleaned, in ones mind, is it any Won
der that he ojects to the mummery
carried on in town? Then, too, comes
the thought of the constant cutlery 20
increase the taXes-why? To pay lot
more 'jobs?'
Twenty years ago | discovered thai
algaroba trees have water cups in
which mosquitoes will breed, and
found the other favored spots, also,
Having no love of the little pests, !
quietly proceeded to free my place
from them. Nevertheless when the
order came to cut bananas, | cut, al
! though being an old resident ] was
fully persuaded that the order Of Dr.,

Currie, a newcomer, was mistaken
one. Curiously enough, though | for
merly had no day mosquitoes, since
my bananas are down | have seer
more than in any three-year period
previously. | have submitted to in
spection, hoping to prove that my
premises are kept clean. and to be
freed from these unknown men walk
ing over my grounds, trampling my
hedges to look into my neighbor's
yard, and breaking my shingles with
their heavy boots.
But still they come in gangs One
dare not leave home without taking
ones young daughter along, for fear
of an incursion. One has an lincoln,
Portable feeling even about taking a
bath since reading the use some OF
these irresponsible persons make Of
their ladders. How long, then, MI
President, before you will rate oar
premises, and send gangs to those
only which have been found neg
lected?
In patient hope,
Your respectfully
