What reading level is The Commonsense of Municipal Trading book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Building " great bases for eter- nity " may be the work of a cathedral builder ; but as far as ordinary dwelling houses are concerned, there is a growing opinion that living in the same house all your life and then leaving it to your chil- dren is as unwholesome as wearing the same sheep- skin and handing it also on to posterity. It may be that the municipal by-laws of the future will in- clude a prohibition of the use of a dwelling house for longer than twenty years. In any case it is clear th...at a good deal of XIX century building will prove very shortlived, and that the rows of cheap houses built for clerks and artisans on the sites of the sub- urban parks and country houses of 50 years ago will presently begin to figure as " condemned areas" on our municipal agenda papers. Besides the decay of the jerry-built brick box, we shall have to face the obsolescence of the solidly built "model" or municipal tenement block. These places seem at first so enormously superior to the filthy rookeries they replace that their revolting ugliness^ their asphalted yards with the sunlight shut out by giant cliflFs of brick and mortar, their flights upon flights of stony steps between the street and the unfor- timate women and children on the upper floors, their quaint plan of relieving a crowd on the floor by stacking the people on shelves, are overlooked for the moment ; but long before they become un- inhabitable from decay they will become as repug- Housing Difficulties 75 nant as the warrens they have supplanted.
