Tie FISH QUEsTIoN-The renting of the
t!sb b:rcaes IL tie market square has fer many
Yeas been EouTco Of much annoyance to those
to whom this duty ia assigned By tho City
Cute. Pnor to the building Of the present
market these benches were located atjacen. to
'ho old watch house on Failfax street. When
ino ,0c8 building vas erected in 1872. four
tcnchts TcIe assigned II the trade 10 the
.q1aro near the meat market. These ba5ches

"iys aDp!o Tor the trade, we're sometimes more
than suthclout TO meet the requirements OF tho
DEALERS. Still! it vas difficult always to satisfy
the fish dealers 10 the maTke:. Ia 1877, the
benches were pu. 40 at public auction end sold
tor q nero song but. tiio purchasers not com-
pyi1g With terms Of sale, By paying the cash

each bench, for which action they were hardjcd
Without gloves. Since 1877. il has been cu5to-
mary to assess each bench, and sell ct public
auction, giving the person paying the highest
ptamlum the ch0ic2 OF b3Gchra. Ills seemed
10 be the only way Oh: Of tic difficulty, and ye!
