A FIVE-ROOMED HOUSE.

| WHAT IT CAN BE BUILT FOR A committee set up by the Central Progress League (Wellington) to consider the housing problem has prepared a report describing a fiveroomed concrete house which, in the committee’s opinion, can be built for “£6OO singly, and for less in groups, according to the site and locality.” “The house,” reports the committee, “is a solid, well-built, compact, and convenient house, with essential conveniences, but minus all unnecessary expenditure. The rooms are of the following dimensions;— Two front bedrooms, approximately, 14ft. x 10ft.; back bedroom, lift x 10ft 6in; living room, 16ft Gin x lift, bathroom, Bft 2'in x sft. 3in; kitchenscullery, lift x Bft 2in inside. Double windows are jirovided for two front rooms and living room, in which there is an open fireplace. A linenpress is provided. There are a scullery bench, a sink, a pot cupboard, a boiler and tub. A gas stove is provided for in the kitchen. The bathroom contains bath, basin, and lavatory. Electric light and drainage are provided.

“The committee obtained an offer to construct these houses at the price named, provided a sufficient number of houses are guaranteed to warrant the necessary plant being .put in. The houses would be constructed by a new method, and everything would be standardised, which naturally would tend to cheapness. The committee are convinced that with actual experience in construction these houses will be built for considerably less than the price named, even with no alteration in the price of the raw material. It will therefore be seen that a suitable working man’s house can be built for much less than is being paid for old houses , to-day. The report will be considered by the league at its next meeting. “There’s no chance in results.” —Emerson.
