Arts Jcnrual, claims for them notice, upon 

 the ground that they shew that the cost of 



erecting good cottages need not be so high 

 as is generally supposed, as, for example, 



longitudinal section ; and fig. 5, the transverse 

 section, all of which are drawn to the scale 

 as in fig. 4. In fig. 2, the ground plan, i in- 

 dicates the living-room; 2, ante-room or en- 

 trance with stairs ; 3, the wash-house ; 4, the 

 w.c. ; 5, dust-bin ; 6, pig-sty. There are four 

 cottages in each block, two facing in opposite 

 directions. This "back to back" arrange- 

 ment has been objected to, but Mr Walker 

 states he has found no real objections arising 

 from the plan, as both sides of the block are 

 fully exposed to the air. There can be no 

 doubt that this arrangement results in great 

 economy of material, and all the chimney 

 Hues can be carried up in the centre. Two 

 bedrooms are given to each cottage.
