WIDENING OF PRINCES STREET.
To the Editor. Sib.—ln reading over the proceeding} in the City Council last night in the journals of this morning, the idea uppermost in my mind culminated in the inconsistency of Mp Fish’s speech. Surely when the deed of submission was being discussed as affecting the Corpora-tion-tenants, it would have been discreet for Mr Fish to have retired, seeing that he himself will participate in the distribution of the loaves and - fishes, as one of the fortunate Manse reserve tenants. Perhaps Mr Fish says to himself, “Now that I am safe and my claim for compensation adequately recouped, with that regard for economy and unselfishness for which I am so celebrated I will conserve the Interests of the Corporation, and will take care that no mean advantage will be taken by a few grasping tenants. ” Bravo, Mr Fi-.lr-; ’tis not for me to cavil at the action taken by the Council in compelling me to retire back 33ft. ; but I do think, in honesty and fair play, the tenants of the Corporation are as much entitled to consideration as others, notwithstanding Mr Fish’s comparisons •of calculations. -I am, &c., One Interested. Dunedin, April 24.
