THE FISH MARKET SITE.
TO THE EDITOR. Sir,-—I was surprised to see that the subcommittee appointed to look into this matter bad taken an option over a section in Cumberland street. It seems to me that the two main points that should be considered before deciding on a site to distribute fish to the public ought to be (1) Mr Anderson’s suggestion—viz., the railway siding must be as near as possible to the site; (2) the trams, which are absolutely essential to take the public to and from the market to make it a success. The committee seems to have ignored both these vital points, and how it came to the conclusion that the Cumberland street site was suitable I cannot quite understand. Perhaps the committee roan enlighten me. It may be that there are no sites available nearer the railway at the foot of St. Andrew street or Hanover street or the tram Bine in Castle- street, but it ought to be possible to procure a section in this locality, which would certainly bo a bettor proposition both from a convenient and financial point of view. —I am, etc., CoKTiiMiixUE.
