HOUSES TO LET

(To the Editor.)

Sir, —On reading the complaints uri'd»r the heading of "Adults Only," and the letter of two nights ago on the same subject, I would like to reply by giving my own experience in house-letting during the last six months. I have two practically new places with all conveniences (four rooms and offices),iwhich I let at a rental that pays me, ana which tenants and others say is a fair rent; in fact, is cheap compared avith other houses. During the last six months these places have been empty about ten weeks each. I answered on an average three advertiiements a night, "Wanted to Rent," daring that time and or<]y received five or six answers thereto. Yet, some of the thousands referred to by "Married Man" must have been amongst those. I may a«y that the previous tenants did not go from choice, but through circumstances apart from the house.

The only conclusion I can come to is that the people who are so anxious to rent houses want them within one section of town intsead of going out into the suburbs, where the children would be more healthy.—l ara, etc.,

SUBURBAN LANDLORD.
