ap experiments in the direction of brightBuch an apartment rents for $40 a year. “Qwhich is completely furnished as a ’ Houses could be built, ‘of course, but VOL. LXVI==NO. 10313 ‘NEVADA CITY, CALIFORNIA. FRIDAY EVENING, JUNE 22, 1894.° Established Sept. 6, 1860, by N. P. Brows & C6, "ARTISANS HOMES, — HOW GLASGOW HAS IMPROVED SOM& OF ITS POOR DISTRICTS, The Influence of Municipal Tenements In Brightening Human Life — Clean and Comfortable Dwellings Furnished to the Poor at Reasonable Rentals. Municipalities are not necessarily iser than other corporate bodies. Glas. row has by no’means solved the human problem. But she has made some notable ening human life. But, with less than half a dozen blocks of municipal tenements, she is still far from pointing the ‘way to a beatific condition. She is also far from having become a socialistic city. She had the opportunity to make experiments in. the most wretched of her districts. The experiments have succeeded, and private enterprise here, as elsewhere, has made similar experiments and with similar success. : -~-The-municipal_tenements or-artisans* dwellings, as they are variously called, . consist of blocks of flats on either side of the Saltmarket. The buildings-are four stories in height. The ground floors are occupied by shops. The houses are usually arranged so that on two-floors there are three tenements, a tenement of two rooms being an each side of the staircase and a tenement of one room between them. There are also several flats of three rooms each. The tenement of one room is 14 by 18 feet. It is fitted ‘with a bed closet, which is e ted to answer the purpose of a Pnlbes since a scullery, a large press or cupboard, a commodions dresser and a kitchen range, The two roomed flat has a small lobby fitted with a press, or closet. On one side. of the lobby is the living room, kitchen: — 4 scullery adjoins. There {s also a bed alcove in the room. On the other side of the lobby and on the front of the house is the sitting room, to which is also attached a bed closet. Such a flat. rents for $49.50-per annum. ‘The three roomed flats rent for $80 a year. Gas is supplied by the city at the usual rate of 60 cents per 1,000 feet. There is a laundry at the top of the house for the use of the'tenants. These artisans’ dwellings are constructed in the most substantial manner. The stairs are stone, and the stairway walls are tiles or glazed brick, which is easily kept clean. It has long been objected that these dwellings do not meet the necessities of the poorest class of laborers. The rents ‘were too high for men who work in the streets or on the docks and at other kinds of unskilled labor. Glasgow had toconsider whether it were possible.for the municipality to reach these men in any way. If it had been a question of letting rooms to single men, the arrangement could have been thade easily enough. But the difficulty was to devise homes for large families, and it usually happens that in this part of the world the poorer the man the larger is his famity. <ould the poorest class of laborers afford to pay a rent which would return to the municipality an interest of 2, 8 or 4 per cent on its investment? Could the municipality compete in that respect with the owners of rookeries, where families. live in ,single apartments? Much aeliberation Was given to the subject. It was found that thé municipality could put up a block of substantial buildings to meet the wants of the class hitherto left untouched, but that it would not be practicable to provide anything more than what are called ‘‘one roomed houses’’—that is to say, one room to afamily. To be sure, the rooms could be divided by a partition reaching ‘within two or three feet of the ceiling, the sleeping quarter being thus separated from:the cooking quarter. ; It was finally decided that a block of single room tenements should be constructed. A place was cleared at the rear of a block of artisans’ dwellings, and a plain building of three stories was erected, with four single room tenements on-each floor, two'in the front and two behind. These were let at rents well within the means of unskilled laborers. The building was opened, and it has n filled ever since. The experiment js financially successful, but in other respects there is little to be said for it. of course the apartments are larger, lighter, healthier, better built than any single room tenements in the old rookeries, Nevertheless the objections to the herd: ing of a family in one room are not thereby removed. They are merely minimized and in a very slight degree. It is not any means demonstrated that a munictpality is justified in doing anything to perpetuate the single room tenement aystem for families. The construction of Glasgow’s munic‘ {pal tenement houses, whether of the better class or of the poorer, is admirable. The stairways, being ee entirély of masonry, are consequently The stairs shemenltes and the hall floors are of stone, and the walls ofthe halls are faced with glazed tiles, lazed bricks, as the ease ee be, and, as I have id, are easily kept clean. “ very tate amount of work yet remains to be done on the municipal estate which comes under the administration of the improvement fund, Old honses are still being torn down, and crowded areas are being cleared away. Of eotese lt this is a very expensive business. it is boing gradually carried on so that the eost may not fall excessively on any single year.—Glasgow Cor.
