In streets devoted to business, where thetradespeople require a place of mart or shop, the houses are fourstories high, and in some of the western streets where the houses areseparate, three and four storied buildings are erected; but on thewhole it is found bad to exceed this range, and as each story islimited to 15 feet, no house is higher than 60 feet.
The substratum of the city is of two kinds. At its northern andhighest part, there is clay; at its southern and south-eastern, gravel. Whatev
...er disadvantages might spring in other places from aretention of water on a clay soil, is here met by the plan that isuniversally followed, of building every house on arches of solidbrickwork. So, where in other towns there are areas, and kitchens, andservants' offices, there are here subways through which the air flowsfreely, and down the inclines of which all currents of water arecarried away.
The acreage of our model city allows room for three wide main streetsor boulevards, which run from east to west, and which are the mainthoroughfares.
