THE 'DAILY TIMES' AND CR. FISH.
To the Editor. Sir.— Your contemporary the ‘Daily Times in last Wednesday's paper has iu a spiteful mood made au attack upon a City Councillor, because he has the brain power to place on the < >rder Paper no less than nine motions ; and, in a carping spirit, worthy of the smallest of little minds, your contemporary regards this as a “means of getting cheap popularity.” The ‘Daily Times’ uo doubt would sneer contemptuously at an objection to its literature, taken on the ground of the numerous local notices it contains, although very little wheat, to use a figure of speech, could be f mnd among much that is little better than husks or chaff. It appears that the member of the City Council obnoxious to the * Daily Times ’ is the most successful in carrying the motions tabled by him. The public regard him as an a ’*le and valuable Councillor. That he is of some mark even the tone of the frequent attacks on Mr H. S. Fish, junr., made in the columns of the ‘ Daily Times ’ give evidence. Summa petit livor.—L am &c.. Dunedin, November 5. Justitia.
