its Past operations have been as follows :
tble range of cottages, on a site where ootteges only were adrais-
t, caned Model Buildings, in Bagnigge-wells. These are now oc-
bY married couples and aged females, whose rents are paid
seklr
. • with great thenkftilness for the cheap and wholesome lodg-
es provided.
rj 2. Three houses repaired and thrown into one, in Charles-street,
Isi*"7slano, wherein clean and proper accommodation is found for 10
011Ing Men.
~
The Model Lodging-house, for single men, built expressly fbr
Zt, Society, in George-street, St. Giles's. In this house 104 single
r_ll are provided with separate sleeping apartments, and every other
";rable accommodation, at the charge of 4d. per night.
t),":1 these establishments are full, the rents are regularls paid, and
mutates are very thankful for t, e advantages they receive. The
number, of persons now tenanting the Society's houses is 320, while
oe,"arl°n't Parts ot the country their allotment tenants are WS.
three undertakings, therefore, while they return a fair and
iT'lluate rental for the capital laid out, are producing important be-
n to the 'working classes, and are compelling improvement in
v'cing-houses generally.
,_,Put there is a very numerous and important class, for whose be-
; t great efforts ought to be made. The mechanics and other la-
alnel'outirers, occupied in the heart of the metropolis, and having wires
ta,,,a,nllllca, who are compelled to dwell in localities where employ-
is to be found, surely demand some consideration.
The Committee desire forthwith to make an earnest attempt to
~,,set the wants of this interesting and important class of persons.
:"_°c3' at Present have in view two sites, In the very centre of the me-
',Tolls, either of which would admirably answer the purpose.
Thßy be are endeavouring to gain possession of ono of them, but it will
„,,,roessary, in order to their effecting this object in a proper and
6,.cient manner, that they should first raise a sum of 5,000/. or
which will obviously be required to erect any building of such
Public
as to to serve ass a model for future undertakings. Hence a
have aPPeal must be made, since the whole of the Sociecy's funds
boon exhausted in the completion of the three works above enu.
...crated.
Th,
Committee believe that with the Christian public of this coun-
t;.,'„ no further plea need bo used than that of the duty and impor-
,',?e of benefiting the poor, especially with respect to their dwellings.
$t
all it cannot be out of place to remark, that while measures for the
bare can be no measure so effectual fur this purpose as that of ex-
nging the wretched abodes, into whioh the poor are now teo often
Mallon' for well-planned, well-drained, and properly ventilated ha-
IoR•• The Committee believe that this can be done even at a
er rate of charge for rent than that which the labourer Is now
;:',`*ll forced to pay, and they entreat the affluent and the charitable
r_gtlve them the means of still further demonstrating this important
,;72,, by actual experiment. It cannot be tee eften repeated, that
m.," our Poor are forced, as at present, to crowd together, all ages
, sexes in the same sleeping apartment, the preservation of either
health or morals is rendered all but au impossibility.
