kee of genius taking that for his model, proposes
to erect in New Haven a building OF similarintent
but of somewhat more generous scope, The plan
is to erect house of some $40 rooms, exclusive
of kitchen, public parlors, reception rooms, &c.
The average rent 70 be about Si5. The entrance
to each suite of rooms will be upon spacious,
common hail. at the ends of which will be bath
rooms and other Offices, dusthues &c. to save
stair.work There will be no necessity of keep

building will procure the cooking in the house at
the lowest rates, and regular bill of fare, with
prices, will be daily sent to the occupants At
the end of each quarter settlement will be
made and if the receipts exceed the expenses
each occupant will be paid pro rata its share of
tie profits.
