LEIPZIG. 309 Their other dimensions would not differ materially from those given in the following concrete examples of four-roomed tenements visited for which rents of from £11 10s. to £15 per annum were being paid. Tenement A (on second floor of house in Wigandstrasse, suburb of Kleinzschocher).

The cellar space is divided into as many compartments as there are tenements, and one such compartment, capable of being secured by lock and key, is assigned to each tenant for the storage of fuel, potatoes, &c. In the back-yard is a washhouse for the use of the tenants in common, and the loft space directly beneath the roof is fitted with rails for the drying of laundry.
