MUNICIPAL HOUSING
TO THE EDITOR Sir,—We are assured by you in a footnote that the contracts for the City Council’s houses are not allotted by Mayor or councillors. What sighs of relief from simple trusting souls arise in the atmosphere! Still, (here are many doubting Thomases. It is terribly easy to convey a suggestion without even one word. A winking nod, or even a slight emphasis on one name —any of these and many more I could suggest would be effective with ynany prospective tenants. Fortunately for some lawyers there, was a small percentage of tenants that liked a fair deal for all. But outside of all these tenants or buyers the poorest of unemnloyed or labouring men, even the most' unthinking must realise that such a;;big number would rush to any particular lawyer without so much as a hint. No cleverer son of any member of -the City Council would ever have got such a percentage of the work unless' he were an intimate friend of one of the leaders. —I am. etc,.
Working Woman.
