THE PULFORD STREET SITE

[To the Editor of the SPECTATOR.] SIR,— Lady Walston and members of the Committee of the Westminster Housing Association appealed last month to your readers to give 232,000 with which to buy two acres of land in Pulford Street. As one of your regular readers, and incidentally akthe tenant of offices in Westminster, I ventured to ask for more information regarding this scheme. The matter has aroused a good deal of interest, and a number of people have been good enough to communicate with me heartily approving of the q,uestions asked. The local Westminster paper has, in its editorial columns, specially commended the Spectator's inquiries.

Lady Walston 111w declines to answer, but surely she is unwise to evade reasonable questions, if she wishes the appeal to be taken seriously by the public whom she asks to give money for the enterprise.—I am, Sir, &c., 53 Nctlicrhall Gard:ns, N.W. 3. B. S. TOWNROE.
