Depopulation of "The Radius. >

OSpopuldtlou Oh Inc haQ1uS.
The steady migration of population to
suburban districts, due to Improvement in
the means of transit. is having some I'M
expected consequences. 1t has not ONLY
relieved the congestion which existed in
many parts of London, but has created
a surplus In accommodation. Empty ten
ements in great number are to be found
in the block dwellings, built by the county
council, and this is also the case with
those put up by private enterprise. 1t is
noted that block dwellings are the first
to be deserted when the demand for ac-
commodation slackens, and there is no
doubt that, at all events in some neigh
borhoods the preference is for small
houses and cottages. The block dwell
ings have been provided by the county
council under the statutory obligation to
re-house persons of the working class
displaced by improvement schemes and
the question now arises whether it is to
be compelled to go on building in town
districts where accommodation is not
needed.
be better to build in the suburbs where
working-class accommodation is eagerly
sought after, and it suggests that a
deputation should wait upon Mr.. Burns
to ask the local government board to &C
cept this as fulfilling the councils obi
cation to re-house within a reasonable
distance those whom they displace in
central parts of the town. To meet the
increasing demand by London workers for
houses on the outskirts of the city the
county council has acquired large es-
tates at footing, Norbury. Tottenham and
Hammersmith. The iDtestion was to
erect cottage dwellings, but in the de-
veopment of the estates a good deal will
row depend on the local government
boards decision on the new point that
has arisen
