II. the cost of the large plot of 261 J square yards has I only risen to £62 7s. 5d., equivalent to a ground rent of iifd. per week. From the | point of view'ot'the tenant, therefore, in Scheme No. I, he pays £43 7s. 6d. for the j freehold of 83I square yards of land, equivalent to a price of los. 4Jd. per square yard. In Scheme No. II. he pays £62 7s. 5d. for the freehold of 261! square yards, ' which is at the rate of 4s. g^d. per square yard.

Supposing there were two village shops, and one offered to supply eighty-three common marbles for 8d., and the other one offered 261 marbles of the same size and character for iifd., can it be supposed that there would be any village boy who would not know which shop to patronise ? To put it quite bluntly, these are the two offers, made by the old-fashioned speculative builder on the one hand, and by the Garden City or Garden Suburb on the other.
