Cheap Cottages.
Those who do not believe in the possibility of cheap cottage-building should see a photograph and plan in a building-trade contemporary of a pair of cottages in Surrey, the plan
of which is a credit to the architects. They contain on the ground floor, a living room 12|ft. by IH, a lobby, a scullery almost as large as the living room and containing a bath, a gas stove and a copper. There are three bedrooms. Counting in closet, drainage and attractive fencing, the bill is £379 19s. The walls are brick, which in the top story is rough-casted. Roofing with old tiles cost 325. 6d. per square. The dividing walls were of patent slab construction, not ot stud and plaster.
