and slate, and orderly placed with comely
streets." On the other hand the English Com
missioners. surveying 1t with prejudiced eyes. In
1865 described 1t as having" the houses gener-
ally wooden. tho streets crooked, with little
decency. and no uniformity" According to

wood. The better class OF houses were two
storied In front. with the roof sloping to the
first story In the rear. The second story
often projected over the sidewalk. These
houses had four main rooms on the
ground floor, the larger ones frequently
twenty feet square. There would be- for in
