To the Editor of the "NorrH-Cuina Dany News"
Si—The foreign residents of that part of Shanghai living be~ tween the Hongkew Market and the Fearon Road Creek would consider it a favour, if you would insert the following in your valuable and esteemed paper.
Tt seems to me that those employed by the Health Department of Shang-i don't know of some of its sights. May I inform them that one of the principal ones is situated between. quite close to a Catholic School—to one of Shanghai's biggest schools—- where a thousand children daily attend, and practically next, to the Hongkew Market.
'The stench that arrives from the ordure station situated along' the reek is simply unbearable at times, Yesterday the foreign taxpayers were "gassed" from 5 p.m. till 9 pam, Upon visiting the "sight" some of the culprits decamped whilst others, probably fearing the law, began making excuses. Surely" there is, something wrong. Are there not hours when this odorous operation can be earrieg on rapidly and with out inconvenience to the public, with due respect to a House of God and with some consideration at least for the hundreds of children who fre~ quent the school?
Hoping this will catch the eye of those who are paid to care for the health of the generous taxpayers. am, ete,
