IRELAND AND HOUSING SCHEMES [To the Editor of the SPECTATOR.]
SIR,—You published an interesting article on a Dublin housing scheme, successfully carried out by a city clergyman, and it is sincerely hoped that any cleric in your great country, who has leisure, will follow suit. In the meantime, British visitors ought to come and see all the improvements, including several different housing schemes, accomplished in Kingstown, the premier township. The Town Council is one of the most for- ward in the whole country. Visitors are sadly wanted in our beautiful little country, and they need have no fear now in coming. Most of the hotels and boarding houses here have been empty these last two or three seasons, owing to existing conditions.—I am, Sir, &c., IRELANDER. P.S.—A good many have gone back to the old names ol towns, as the sentimental ones have not been good for business
