But this is due to the depth of the lot, not simply because the alley is there. The narrower the lots the more need of alleys. The location and amount of travel will best determine this. Four hundred feet seems to be a good length. We find both conditions to exist.
Houses fronting on the broader streets have more air and light.
The streets themselves have a better appearance, Here people and teams use the streets on which the houses front rather than the side streets. This is hardly sufficient to outbalance the other conditions. Yours truly, W. H. Dorsey, Asst.
