"sVould it not be a fitting tribute to the jftemory of a man now crossed the grcat^jdivide, and who so strenuously advocate^ for a doclc for tho Empire City, to ilavo it called 'The Fisher Dock." Throughout the whole length and bro'fidth >pf "Wellington thcro - is nothing by-way m name to mark the memory of 'the lac Mr. George Fisher, yet for considerably over thirty years he- devoted '.the ti&t and brightest ; parb of his life to fcfie interests 01 the city ho loved sb well. 'His name 'does ', not even S appear 6n a plate giving a namjj to a. d^reet-^a most negligent omission in viewt of the many benefits Wellington is -fit the present time deriving from his municipal life. Trusting that those in .whoso hands the povfer and authority lies to give^t name to the jdock may deem the best and raost appropriate one "The* ' Fisher Dock "(—I am, etc., "' PETER GEOEGESON. 4fch February.
