Overcrowding and defective housing in the rural districts . n the ordinary city home. In Fig. I is shown an example of oneof these village rows which has over-crowded the land. These lots, only 16 Rural Housing seventy-two feet wide, are completelycovered at one end by a building which isdivided into six so-called houses: eachhouse contains two rooms downstairs andtwo upstairs. The end houses alone ofsuch a building can have light and air onmore than two sides, but, unfortunately, these ends are, in the present instance, furnished with very small windows, sothat these end houses are very little bet-ter than the intervening ones. These lotsshould contain just about one-half asmany houses and the increased rental de-rived from the better houses would, prob-ably, in the end, yield about as much in-come from the land as when it wasovercrowded with the row. This in-sanitary row is situated in a town of lessthan a thousand people, but some yearsago when a little boom struck theplace, everybody wanted to get richquick, and the owner of these lots found.

Of course it is well to remember that byproper building many more people can behoused on a given lot than by the im-proper building characterized by the usualvillage row. However, to put upbuildings which would be proper forhousing many people would necessitatemore expense than the value of the landwould justify, consequently it is better tohave relatively less building and houserelatively fewer people on the village lot. I was once driving in a wild mountainvalley in Pennsylvania and came upon asettlement made up of the houses of theworkmen of a nearby industry: rather, there were no houses; only a long row, divided into compartments, called housesin the companys books. The conditionshere were scarcely better than a cityblock, and the inhabitants—pale, sallow. 20 Rural Housing dirty, and unkempt, from living in badlyventilated rooms—showed the typicalcoun
