THE HARBOR BOARD.
To the Editor.
Sir,—ln the ' Daily Times 'of this morning is a long letter professedly on the affairs of the Harbor Board, but' evidently written with the intention of detracting not only from the merit of the plans but of the personal reputation of the Engineer. I can hardly suppose that any member of the Board would have compromised his position by writing anonymously to a newspaper in a style that approximates so nearl/ to the scurrilous, although some of the expressions bear a remarkable resemblance to what fell from the lips of one in debate. It is easy to make vague charges against a man who, from his position, is not at liberty to reply, and very much in courage resembles- kicking a paraon, who from his profession i 3 bound not to fight. I think, therefore, the practice oi inserting attacks of that class from anonymous correspondents should be discouraged by the Press, who, in all such cases, should require that the letters bears in public the signature of the writer.—l am &c, '
Fair Tlay.
