4. MR. WILFORD'S EXPLANATION. - ''"We' liave^li'ea'h'l 0 a' good' many complaints about empty bouses in the city," said the Mayor at last night's council meeting. "I have made inquiries, and asked the owners where the people have gone, and I find, in nearly every case, that they have gone to acquire homes of their own in the suburbs. The growth of tho suburbs has been enormous. "What; about the empty houses in tho suburbs?" nsked a voice. Mr. Wilford replied that there was at one time a large amount of speculative building in the suburbs, quito in excess of the real needs of the people.
