pool is making a profit out Of its invest
ment Of more than 500. 900. 900 in docks.
Many of the city corporations are now
erecting homes for their working people.
They are buying up the slums and tearing
down the buildings which stand upon them
In order to put up sanitary tenements,
which they rent at low rates. At the same
time they are widening the streets and go
ing into what might be called a land office
and real estate business. The London
county council spent $780, 900 to wipe out
the slums Of Bethnal Green, 1t being esti-
mated that It cost the city $500 for every
family that was there turned out before a
cent was spent on the new buildings for
them. London now has a special housing
department connected with the city govern
ment which has charge Of such matters.
II has $4,000 people In its In the
city and It Is erecting cottage settlements
on the outskirts. Six thousand people are
to be housed In such cottages at Norbury
and AZ, 900 at Tottenham. When the Tot
tenham improvements are completed there
will be a good-s.zed town there made up
entirely Of municipal cottages.
The which have been put
within these cities have a large number in
one building. They are, as II were, fats Of

prices, according to the number Of rooms.
The cheapest two-roomed fats are to be
found in Dublin, where they rent for so
cents a week; similar quarters In Glasgow
cost so cents a week; In Liverpool. So cents.
and In London a little more than 81 per
week. The rents are supposed to be on a
basis that will pay the running expenses
and furnish a sinking fund which will re.
coup the city for the cost Of the buildings
within from 80 to 100 years.

This city Of Birmingham. where I an
now writing. has been noted for such ex-
per.ments. It has erected one set Of build
ines at a cost Of $1,000 which have lodg-
ings for 100 families. There are shops or

has for centuries been the Industrial CAPT.
tai Of middle England. 1t is situated where
was nee the forest Of Arden, the scene OF
Robin Hoods adventures and of A You
Like It" and others of Shakespeare's plays.
It has iron mines and coal mines not far
away and before coal was used for smelt-
ing iron the people here made charcoal
from the trees Of the forest and thus
worked their blacksmith shops and other
house industries.
No one knows when the iron making be-
gan and today there is q vast amount of
work that goes on In small factories. The
city Is now perhaps the chief hardware
center of the whole world. 1t has foundries
and shops for making steam engines, heavy
machinery and cannon 1t makes pins and
needles by the tens Of millions and steel
pens and buttons for all parts of the globe.
1t has glass works and crystal works,
bronze foundries and bridge works, and its
gun works are Of enormous size. There are
100, 900 factory hands In the city and 1t is
estimated that 10. 900 Of these are employed
in making guns and rifles. The guns are
exported to all countries. The works were
pushed to their full capacity during our
civil war, when 10000 guns were shipped
to the United States. including a large
number which went to help the south.
Birmingham of Today.
The Birmingham Of today is about as large
as st. Louis. 1t has one or two streets as
hne as the better streets Of st. Louis, and
indeed 1t looks much more like an American
city than an English one. The streets are
well kept and Notwithstanding the foundries
ana factories which are scattered here and
there upon them everything is remarkably
clean.
Birmingham has been called the town OF
two great streets. It's chief business houses
are on these streets, and the buildings have
all been put up within the last few years
They are the product OF B~irmingham's prin-
ciple OF municipal improvement. When
Joseph Chamberlain was mayor the business
OF the town was congested. There were
slums in its heart, and It was Chamberlain
who planned to wipe the slums out, to build
a great street through them, which should

rents being as low as rs cents per week.
Birmingham is noted for the number of
things which the city owns. 1t prides it.
self on being a business city run by bust
ness men on business principles. 1t makes
its own gas, provides its own water supply
and has public museums. art schools and
galleries. 1t has extensive parks, cricket
fields and other pleasure grounds. 1t has
a sewage farm OF 1900 acres, which cost
50, 900, 900. 1t has public swimming and
Turkish baths, and laundries for the poor.
where they can have hot water and hot
irons for 2 or 3 cents an hour.
It has magnificent city buildings. The
council house or the municipal building Is
one Of the finest structures Of England. 1t
is a great pile built in the renaissance
style in the heart OF the city, with a dome
rising from its center. The main entrance
is at the front, and the building is orna>
mented with sculpture and mosaic showing
the arts and industries Of Birmingham,
with a central group representing Britannia
reviewing It's manufactures.
The interior of the building contains a
council chamber, the banqueting hall and
magnificent quarters for the lord mayor.
In II there is also a museum and art gal

Another hne building is the town hall,
designed after the model Of a Roman tenn
pie. This is where public meetings are
held and where the great city organ plays
regularly every week for the benefit OF the
people.
Right back OF this hall is perhaps the
only monument ever erected as memorial
to g living man. It Is that OF Hon.
Joseph Chamberlain. who has perhaps done
more than any other to advance municipal
ownership In the city OF Birmingham. The
monument bears a medallion bust Of Mr.,
Chamberlain without the eyeglass. and
upon It there is an inscription testifyiNg to
his services for Birmingham.
