CHAMBER OF COMMERCE CRITICISED

(To the Editor.) Sir.--Councillor Parker's remark :it 11k 1 Horoiifih Council nicotine that the Chamber of Commerce had apparently nothing to talk about when it discussed such ji. subject as party walls comes with very ill Uraco from .a member who accepted a seat on the ('handier. He was not at the meetiujx wlien .Mr Dempsey brought the matter forward, and 1 can only regret that Councillor barker treats his public duties witli such evident levity. The mat-

tor in (|UOsti(iii is ;i most spriou.s one, nlid f Mr (Imvor nrid Mr Dempsey upon coining forward in llie* manner in which they did, unci it. would ho a irood thing to compel nil shops on both sides of Oxford .street to pull down their present party walls, and to erect brick ones. As one who lins sunk money in my business, 1 may bo nllowed to express the liope 111: ii■ next time T read tlie report of what Councillor Parker says, j shall -cad to say the least ■;> little more romnion sense than 1 did to-day. Yours, etc.. A TRADESMAN. Oxford street. Levin.
