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. Boston Heral
