Allotments as a Permanent Institution. 



The importance of the question of allotments is 

 a matter which ought to receive the earnest 

 attention of all municipal authorities. That 

 allotments will be desired by working men after 

 the war there can be no doubt about what- 

 ever. The ideal allotment or garden plot is 

 the one which is at the back of one's house, 

 and, while at first it might be considered a bad 

 speculation if housing authorities were to insist 

 that at least one-sixteenth of an acre of ground 

 should be laid out adioining each house, in the 

 long run, when happiness, health, morality, 

 temperance, child welfare, &c.. are considered, 

 the value of gardens, allotments and open spaces 

 would prove of greater financial value to the 

 towns, counties and coTintries than the crowded 

 brick and mortar boxes found in most towns 

 and cities at present. 



I tried to point out at the Civic Exhibition 

 Congress in Dublin during August, 1914, that 

 those men who had learned of the value of allot- 

 ments were the men who would be the first to de- 

 mand that gardens should form an adjunct of their 

 house and living rooms, signs are not wanting, 

 more especially in England, that those who have 

 realised the benefit to be obtained by cultivating 

 an allotment and by being in the fresh air after 

 working in stuffy factories, &:c., have developed a 

 divine discontent with the sordid nature of their 

 surroundings, which they have tried to improve 

 by nieans of window boxes, &c, and have begun to 

 ask for scientific town planning, which will take 

 into consideration the real needs of .the human 

 family. That allotments in Ireland are considered 

 to be necessary after the war as well as during the 

 war is foreshadowed by the recent Irish Allot- 

 ment Act, an Act which has not come before 

 its due time. W. H. J.
