To the Editor of the "Nortu-Ctxa Daly News."
Sm,—Can anyone inform me why there is maintained along the Race Course in Bubbling Well Road a ditch that is an eyesore, a menace to health and a constant danger to pedestrians? The ditch, filled with foul water, is a breeder of mosquitoes in the summer time and a constant invitation ta accidents the year round. I suggest that the possessor of the medieval mind that conceived the idea of having a moat around the Race Course be given a ducking in the said moat. The dirty ditch takes up more than half of the [walk in these times when the ped {trian traffic in Shanghai is constantly becoming more congested. Why not Jeover it over? Agitation along this line is solicited by Yours sincerely,
