    A careful record has been kept of the rents, and notes on the construction of the houses have been added; in all, 726 cottages have been treated in this manner. The rents have been found to vary between 5s. and 10s. per week. For the purpose of comparison I have divided them into three classes, viz., A, B and C. Class A includes houses with six rooms having a small hall with staircase, which has been means of ventilation and lighting. Class B, those cottages containing five and six rooms with a staircase built between two rooms and which is neither lighted nor ventilated. Class C, cottages with three and four rooms with a staircase leading' out of the living room, often without a door, and with neither light or ventilation. These cottages are distributed throughout the District as follows : — Thames Ditton— A 40 B 65 C 81 Total 186 Esher—■ A 37 B 77 C 103 Total 217
