Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Best of Everything
Best Hints on Choosing, Purchasing, and Building a House. - choosing A house. The choice of a house is in importance second only to the selection of a friend. The best residence is one which is not inconveniently distant from your place of business - is in a cheerful and healthy locality, and of which the rent, includ ing rates and taxes, does not exceed One-sixth of your income. Do not choose a neighbourhood merely because it is fashionable, and carefully avoid occupying a dwelling in a locality of doubtful reputation. Be particular as to whether it is dry, with convenient sewage and plenty of water. A south ern or western aspect is to be pre ferred. Should the house be infested with vermin, avoid it. See that the windows and doors are well secured, that there are proper means of ventila tion, and that the chimneys do not smoke.
