There Is greater concentration OF

This is partly shown In the prodigious
value OF house property, including public

for the whole Union. The six Middle
states taken collectively give an average
Of $3.50 Of house property per inhabitant.
which Is double the ratio found in Great
Britain. and hence 1t may be affirmed that
the people OF these states are, on the
whole. the best housed community in the
