LETTERS TO EDITOR,
Suggested Fishermen’s Institute
Sir.—l would have thought that the movers in this matter would have replied to the letter of “Dyker” in last week’s letter, but everyone seems to agree that he is right in his suggestion, that if there is to be a Fishermen’ Institute let us have it in Cellardyke. It is perhaps not known by “Dyker” and many others that there is a good library, bagatelle board and other facilities for amusement belonging to the town and stored in the Town Hall. I am almost confident that I am right in this statement, but if not, someone will no doubt correct me. Why should we fishermen not make use of those things belonging to ourselves? Yours M.L
Early this morning the Cellardyke Fishing boat Triumph was struck by a heavy wave and driven onto the west beach. She has been badly damaged, but no lives were lost, and the gear recovered.

DEAN or Guild Court.
At a Dean of Guild Court held on Tuesday evening—Provost Black presiding—plans were submitted by Mr Alex. Smith, dairyman, for a house to be erected on the east side of Williamson Street, to the north of the existing houses. The surveyor reported that the small bedroom without a fire place should be provided with proper means of ventilation, while the drains should be smoke tested after having been put in. He pointed out that the pig sty shown in the plan at the foot of the garden was not 100 feet from the nearest dwelling house.
Provost Black -There is no use passing the pig sty. The Local Government Board would come on our top. But we can pass it with the exception of the pig sty.
Bailie Butters -We cannot help ourselves, especially in view of what has passed with the Local Government Board already.
It was agreed to pass the plan so far as the home was concerned, but prohibit the erection of a pig sty.
A plan for the alteration of the shop in James Street, for some time occupied as a fish restaurant, was submitted by Macdouall and Muir, merchants, Leith. The plan was passed.

BAULDIE ASHORE. Early on Wednesday morning, the bauldie Andrews (Skipper John Watson) left the harbour to haul her anchored nets. The weather was very foggy at the time, and the bauldie ran ashore about 400 yards to the east of the east pier and about 200 yards from the shore. She was left high and dry on a “skerry.” The crew were taken off by a yawl in the afternoon, the Andrews was got safely off and brought into the harbour. Fortunately the sea was very quiet, and the damage is very little.
