IMPROVED DWELLINGS NOR THE INDUS-
TRIAL GLASSES.

The first block of improved dwellings for the
industrial dame, built by Ur. Alderman Waterloo in a
dense part of Finsbury, was formally opened on Saturday
' meaning in the presence eta large and distinguished com-
pany. The block steads in Nork-street, Paul-street, near
St. Leonard's-mama, and is to be the mane of two long
wings, which are to project horn sash side in an easterly
and a westerly direction. A gam Me hen cleared in front,
on which it is proposed to build a cemeh, prelahly surrounded
by other similar dwellings, if the present building.' de not
belie the rather sanguine calculations of their projectors.
The block stands about 50 feet high, has • cheerful froutsge
facing the north-ma, In which are seen five doors end a
terrace on the root, and is laid out to accommodate twenty
families. Inside the arrangements seem well-planned, and
very much like those in Whim at the Royal Dramatic Ool-
lege, or at certain humble "club chambers."
The dwellings have been designed and built by Yr. Mat-
thew Allen for Alderman Waterloo, on a calculation that
they are to return the usual r►te of hoosolgollt—viz. : eight
or nine per cent. per annum, and the following were
amongst the most important points which seemed to the
projectors to require consideration.

1. A ground plan early adaptable to say plot of ground,
ospable of repetires to any extent, and parenting in the
elevation a pleasing and attractive appeasers 2. Suites of
mom at different -rests so planned., to aims the greatest
eoecomy of space, snateriala, and Skew in the erection of
the building, and at the same time provide for the exclu-
sive use of each family, within the external door of the
lettings, every essential requisite of domestic convenience.
A TM weetructica of a flat roof capable of bang used u a
drying and recreation pound, so as to leave ae much space
as possible available for building. S. kissialng the porticoes
of thodoors, windows, and fireplaces, with reference to a
suitable arramearot of the furniture of =musts,
and the placing of proper firepLioes, co shelves,
he., In every room. S. An efficient spa of d
sad restirtion. 8. Making the Peery as are sep=
to ea dorm sire and so UM aseetilaery might be
brought to bear in its motifecture,to • con-
siderable mart. 7. The dissevery sad adsplatiati of • new
arterial combining the properties of strength aid dura-
bility, adaptability, attractiveness of appermes, and sheep-
MOS. la an ernicent dogma 8. The ountinaties of these
advantages in buildings which, ober let at fah metals,
would produce a good return on the outlay incurred in their
erectus. 9. The selection of a locality where the pound
net would not be massive, although the Smalls would be
aufacieut4 near their work to enable tam to Ws their
resale at boas

After a metal inspection of the building, inside and out,
the vfnitors &rambled under an awning on the roof.
