The old type of wooden house used by the old type of tenant could not be expected to last more than a few years, which justified a higher rate of interest.

For the tenement tenant of the better class twenty years has been the estimate, so that the cost of building could not be distributed over fifty years as it should be.
The house will be made of reinforced concrete or its successor; certainly not of wood.

Whether a single house or one of two or more "compartments," each family will have a side, that is, the entrance doors will not be side by side.

Such have been built in Somerville, Mass., by a railroad company for its employees.

Those who wish to have a garden may; but no one will be obliged, for there will be regulations about the general appearance of the whole park, and every man his own lawn-mower will not be true.
