Mr. Editor--The situation of Pitt st. between Queen and Princess, I think deserving public attention. As a street it is altogether useless, and likely to be a great nuisance beside. As there are several individuals, whom I esteem, interested in property there, I regret to see them so much neglected or, indeed, injured by not having the same attended to. Property in that part of the town will become useless, and improvements be entirely put an end to, unless something like solid justice is bestowed upon them. It is sincerely to be hoped council will do something for the health and interest of that neighborhood.
