REFUSE DUMPS.

I should also like to add my protest against the practice of dumping tin-cans and unburnable refuse' on open spaces. We have here in Somerset, near our village, a pretty heath, which is disfigured by the dumping of numerous articles of this sort. Latterly the grass has been burnt, with the result that under many of the charred bushes and undergrowth, one sees the unsightly remains of old tins and broken earthen- ware articles lying about. .I do not think the people who dump these things on open spaces realize how unpleasant the practice is to others, as they have grown up with these habits, but I agree with " another sufferer " that it is time that the local authorities took combined action to put a stop to this habit—STILL ANOTHER SUFFERER.
