COTTAOMS FOR DORCHESTER.
To it. Ediior.
Bet few working wen attended the meeting on Friday
emenieg lad, and I will ask you therefore (fur the purpose
of informing rite sumo that something is being done, and
of inducing them to arouse awl put their own shoulders
to the wheel), to be kind enough to lind slam for the
following remarks made by myeelf :
A. one of the committee appointed at your last meet-
ing to wait upon Mr. Merrier., I wish to say that I am
satisfied • great nsisappruhension exists in the minds of
eome of the working men, as to the feelings and inten-
tions of the Duchy authorities in the matter before us.
The proposition to build cottages on the east side of
Fordington, which was spoken a almost with contempt
at our last weuting is nameable when understood. Mr.
Ilerriot explained to us that one object of that proposi-
tion was to induce those now living in part of Fordiugton
village to remove to mire comfortable dwellings, so that
the regent old cottages and their sites might be
improve&
"Raving had • good deal to do with working men, and
had 601110 hundreds of cottages and gardens under my
centrul. I have taken great interest in the question, and
hare tried to pick up all the information I could in every
direction as to what was doing and what was proposed in
this important question (indeed I cause to your last meet-
ing solely for this purpose), and I can say on very good
authority that the Duchy hese been considering how they
ceuld meet the wants of the working risen of this town
bath as regards cottage ate' and gardens. It has been
said that we have been left is. the dark, but I think the
fault is really with ourselves. A gentleman has berm
down here to know what are our requirements, and we
have left him in the dark ; for want of organisation and
o( • rearesentative head to confer with him, we have told
kim-iiista, nothing. As we do want cottages and
ens, the Ant thiog is to get a site. The Millway
has been proposed, butt do not expect we thall
get it, one matienian has told me that he has
offered £6 an acre for part of it, and I have heard of
others who are willing to give as much as L 8 an acre for
other parts. This I consider is • higher ground rent than
a working man should be called upon to pay, and there-
fore I would propose that without abandoning this, we
should as an &419116V0 aek foe the two lots No. 66 and 57
on the west side of the railway. Al regards distance,
there is not three minutes difference between the two ;
the ground on the west side of the railway lies higher
and yet is not exposed, it is well drained by the railway
cutting, and for fruit, lowers, or vegetables, bee.,
fowls. Ida not think there is any spot in the whde of
Fordiegton Field to beat it.
"The next point is we want catty's. Who is to build
them I
"I have net been able to hear of any private individuals
who will wend it. is them. Builders would as doubt
put them ne if working men would agree to buy thaw
atorwerdo ;-but not to rent, as they can make better use
of their money. Ido not think capitalists will undertake
it, because cottode property ae a penuanent investment
does not pay. To give you as !I:ottani:a The population
of the town of Doncaster, in Yorkshire, was 1651 about
POtel, In 12 years it had doubled, mai the increase was
entirely due to working moo. Whole streets, of cotes
were built, but I know some of them which originally
paid 6 or In per rent, and even mire, do not now return
over 6or 6 per rent. And when the repairs of gl)-year old
cottages and the rates are deducted from 6 per cent., there
is but • small profit kit.
"The only plan I ran think of is for the N orking men
to help theumelves. bhow by your actions that you will
Law by won nue.a de,sit tu bre in. Orkoulise a
-c.-operative society, and let every man who wanhi •
cottage take a share or shares, and I feel satisded you
will mein get plenty of help. Tradesmen would take
Ames with you; capitalists would dud money at a
remonable rate; but you must not expect them to do it
all. Make a start, show that you are in carnesit, put your
own Moulder to the wheel, and you will meet with

inseams.
"As to the land, it bat I would suggest windil not rut
oat Mr. Greening or auy one else or present their having
sort of it to build on. nor do I think it necessary that any
Rua rental or .it. should be detorniined ou now ; hut I
propose that the Chairman be asked to . rite oil behalf iif
this meeting of working omen, to the Secretary. and
rieruset that about It or it acres of ground. ins position

the 'ohm orieng would he a very desirable sit.: but
if fon." reason tnitt he objected to for the purpose by
the Duchy Council. they that Lots 56 and S. on Plan No.

In conclusion, Mr. Editor. 11. k, to any that this propo-
sition was adopted, and that Mr. Veroun and Mr. Lock
mad: iii.ko.took to carry out the wialics of the meeting.
N o doubt they and others would assist in tutting up any
