And Twenty-four Clergymen and Gentlemen.
The Society for the Improvement of the Condition of the Labour-
ing Classes having met with entire success In three different efforts to
Provide better dwellings for the labouring poor, is new desirous of
•••araeneing a new attempt, of, it may be heped, a still more impor-
tant character.
1t• Past operations have been as follows
i• A range of cottages, on a site where cottages only were admit-
rile. called Model buildings, in Baguigge-wells. These are now roc-
enpled by married couple. and aged females, whose rents are paid
Weekly, with great thankfulness for the cheap and wholesome ledg.
• Ines provided.
2. Three houses repaired and thrown into one, in Charles-street,
Drury-lane, wherein clean and proper accommodation is found for 80
Working men.
~3. The Model Lodging-house, for single men, built expreesly for
‘"te Society, in George-street, St. Giles's. In this house IU4 single
",ell are provided with separate aleepinz apartments, and every other
desirable accommodation, at the ebarge of 4d. per night.
Ail these establishments are full, the rents are regularly paid, and
the inmates are very thankful for tne advantages they receive. The
._7lllcaber of persons now tenanting the Society's houses is 320, while
mi various parts of the country their allotment tenants are 656.
These three undertakings, therefore, while they return a fair and
adequate rental ter the capital laid out, are producing important be-
!tette to the working classes, and are compelling improvement in
lodging-hotteee generally.
but there is a very numerous and important clam, for whose be.
beet great efferts ought te be made. The mechanics and ether la-
b°UrerS, occupied in the heart of the metrepolie, and having wives
and ilamilles, who are compelled to dwell in losalities where employ-
seat is to be found, surely demand some consideration.
The Committee desire forthwith to make an earnest attempt to
meet the wants of this Interesting and important class of persons.
7.hey at preeent have in view two sites, in the very centre of the me-
tropolis, either of which would admirably answer tho purpose.
They are endeavouring to gain possession of one of them, but it will
no necessary, in order to their effecting this object in a proper and
Itialeient manner, that they shordd first raise a sum of 5,0001. or
6,0001., which will obviously be required to erect any building of such
Utent as te to serve as a model for future undertakings. Hence a
tblic appeal must be made, since the whole of the Society's funds
Ye been exhausted 1u the completion of the three works above intl.
Inerated.
The Committee believe that with the Christian public of this rosin.
LrY no further plea need be load than that of the duty and 'floor-
!Mee of benefiting the poor, especially with respect to their dwellings.
!still it cannot be oat of place to remark. that while measuree for the
IWProvetnent of the health of the metrepolis are urged on every side,
k4er• Can be ne measure so effectual for this purpose as that of ex-
-▪ "salting the wretched abode', into which the poor are cow too often
•4",..oWded, for well-planned, well-drained, and properly ventilated ha.
utatloas. The Committee believe that this can be done even at a
sr rate of charge for rent than that which the labourer Is now
ulT•eld forced to pay, and they entreat the affluent and the charitable
to live them the means of 'it'll further demonstrating this important
by actual experiment. It cannot be toe often repeated, that
while our poor are forced, as at present, to crowd together, all ages
lad sexes its the same sleeping apartment, the preservation of either
health or morals is rendered all but an inmesssibllity.
