DEE-STREET LEASEHOLDERS.
Sir, — I am glad to note that the Deestreet leaseholders are bestirring themselves in the matter of acquiring freeholds f..r themselves. It ia pretty certain that the absentee landholders of that part of the town take too much after the character of Shylock, and believe too ■ much in our being compelled to continue giving them the kernel, and our receiving the husk only, to be willing to come to equitable terms with their lessees. By . united action on our part, we hope to undeceive them on this point. These worthies appear to think we ought to pay them Glasgow ground rents, quite oblivious of the fact that this is only a village, and, since reunion has been accomplished, likely to be. — Yours, &c, A Dekstreet Leaseholder.
