Garden Cities for London.

London is trying to- work out IT'S
housing crisis by building little garden
cities about twenty miles outside its
limits. These experiments in whole
sale home construction are being car
ried on by the enterprise of private
canital backed up with the generous
government subdivision that is being
given to all home construction projects
The profits Of the promoting com
pany will be limited to seven per cent
of the Investment. the proceeds over
and above this amount going back into
town improvements.
The ideal house, so much talked of
in England, that resulted from the
Daily Mail competition will be given a
practical try-out in this new city. The
name of the place when completed will
be Welwyn Garden City.-New York
