COTTAGES FOR RURAL LABOURERS.

[TO lin Erases or Tag ElriCTATOR."1

SIB,—Some three years ago we wrote calling the attention of the readers of the Spectator to a pamphlet issued by the Rural Housing Association entitled Cottages for Rural .Labourers, containing plans and descriptions of good country cottages economically planned, which had been built in various parts of the country, together with the cost of building. This pamphlet has, we believe, been very useful to landowners and others up and down the country who are interested in cottage-building on sound and economical lines. Some of your readers may be glad to be informed that the Executive Committee of this Association are now issuing an Appendix (price 4d., post free) to the pamphlet, containing further plans and notes as to construction and cost of various types of cottages which have been built since the pamphlet was published.--I am, Sir, &o., A. CRURTON, Secretary. The Rural Housing Association. Parliament Mansions, Westminster.
