THE RESUIvTS OF THE I.A\V ON UNDISTRAINABtE HOMESTEADS 



99 



This enquiry has shown that, since the promulgation of the law, 243 

 homesteads have been formed, 85 in towns and 158 in the country. They 

 have been formed in 47 of the departments; the value of the holding seldom 

 reaches the maximum laid down in the law and the average seems to be 

 4,000 or 5,000 frs. 



The departments in which most homesteads have been formed are 

 Seine-et-Oise, 12; Seine, 11 ; Seine-et-Marne, 9; Eure-et-Ivoir, 9; Aisne, 8; 

 Oise, 8. 



It will be easy to form an idea of the distribution of the homesteads, 

 up to the present formed, their number and average value in the various 

 departments from the following table :
