To the Editor. . SlB,—A letter appearing in your last night’s is ue, signed “ A Ratepayer,” makes a most unwarrantable assertion in regard to tbe awards, under the “ covenant,” given or expected by our firm. We never offered to take from tho Corporation L 3,000, or unde such a statement Jp an 7 private individual at any time as Ratepayer ” mentions. Since becoming the firm of Edmond, Forsyth, and M‘Neill we have expended on buildings four times the amount in value to those erected in 1873, altering the complexion of the offer our Mr Edmond made to the Corporation in the early part of that year.

Edmond, Forsyth, and M'Neill, Princes street, May 21.
