MR FISH AND THE WIDENING OF PRINCE 3 STREET.
To the Editor. Sir,—l have had some difficulty, in reading Mr Fish's speech as reported in last ni&ht's STAB, in understanding his defence on one point—his action in the matter of the choice of the Corporation arbitrators. I have always understood that the charge against Mr Fish was that he had acted improperly in voting at the election of the men who were to represent the Corporation in deciding the prico which he waa to obtain from the citizens for his own property, he having also a voice, ia the choice of valuators on his own side Mr Fish seems to think he has answered this charge when he asserts that his vote made no difference in the election. I must confess myself unable to see how the result of Mr Fish's action, as to which nothing could of course be known beforehand, can affect the question of its propriety or good taste.—l am, &c, Duntdin, July 11.
