houses have rooms to let to the numerous workmen
who are satisfied with lodgings; and the purchasers
can thus facilitate their own payments. This practice
of poor people living in large numbers with one another
is a peculiarity of the life of the common people in
Finland, an evidence, indeed, of their good nature, but
not without its drawbacks. Many other examples might
be quoted of arrangements made for providing working
men with homes, arrangements undertaken either by
the men themselves or by their masters, as is the case

country so advanced as Finland. The government is
authorised to lend money for this purpose for long
periods either to the municipalities of the cities or to
companies, the interest being 3½ per cent.
