Members may be interested in inspecting^ the plans showing 

 the type of cottage we propose to adopt, and the block plan. It 

 is hoped that we shall be able to cover the roofs with tiles or 

 asbestone sheeting, and ceil the rooms with uralite or some 

 such material, and we may adopt wood on concrete floors. 



Orientation has been considered to the extent that the 

 streets have been laid out in a northerly direction, and the houses 

 are facing east and west. In East London the prevailing winds 

 are east and west, and streets lying in that direction are not the 

 most comfortable to live in. On the other hand, there is very 

 little movement of air in houses wbich have their windows 

 facing north and south. One gets a very much better movement 

 of air in houses where the windows and doors are facing east 

 and west. 



We have attempted no Dutch gables or Queen Anne fronts. 

 On the other hand, the roofs would all be hipped and the soffits 

 fairly wide, and it is thought they would not be unsightly, and 

 they will certainly be economical to maintain. We propose to 

 put up cast-iron eaves gutters and down pipes, and in all cases 

 to install cast-iron baths. Each house will have a fairly 

 wide stoep. Consideration was given to the abolition of 

 the passage, but it was felt that it would be objectionable for 

 all rooms to open from the one to the other, and therefore some 

 passage, which in this case ends at the living room (or means 

 of commtmication), was absolutely necessary. It will be seen 

 that in the case of the 3- and 4-roomed houses in terraces we
