LETTERS, Page 8Soiled Cities
I was both surprised and disappointed to read your item about
London's being the "city of filth" (WORLD, Jan. 30) and then a
letter about dog dirt in Paris (LETTERS, Feb. 20). I live in
Amsterdam, and this has to be the No. 1 European capital for dog
excrement. In a small, overcrowded country with almost 15 million
inhabitants, we have more than a million dogs. It is not unusual
to see the tenant of a cramped city apartment taking two, three or
even four dogs for their "walkies." The result is left on the
sidewalks, in the parks and on the banks of the rivers and canals.

You think London is dirty? You haven't seen Naples!
