HOME, To the Editor of the "Norra-Cuina Dairy News."
Srr,—I am visiting the Victoria Nursing Home for a few days, having necessary rest cure and, as a consequence, am already feeling very much better in health.
Once again I should like to be permitted, through the medium of your paper, to raise my hat and add another vote of thanks to, first of all, the founders of this institution: then to the Municipal Council and the department which control it: and last, but by no means least, to the matron, sisters and nurses who minister to the wants of patients during their period of Why, though, I should like to inquire, do the Council permit the "open space" on the western side. of Hannen Road to be utilized in the manner in which it is? An "open space" it certainly is and even might be termed a "park" in as much as it is utilized for parking and garaging motor ears, There are also Some Chinese huts used for stabling a few ponies and these shanties, I feel sure, are the breeding-place of the few blue-bottle flies which, I regret to state, I have occasionally found in my otherwise perfectly clean bed-room.
Cannot the Health Department and the P.W.D. combined do something to remedy the existing conditions on this insanitary "open space," more especially as it is situated next door to the Nursing Home? Either turn the present occupants out or make them observe ordinary sanitary regulations.
I am, ete.,
