Assuming that 20 per cent. of the population of the Buildings
consists of children under 10 years of age, then the Buildings will
accommodate 1,400 persons of all ages, equivalent to 2.4 persons per
room, and 875 persons per acre.
The gross annual rental of the Buildings is estimated to produce
£4,690; the net annual rental, after deducting 39 per cent. for
outgoings, is estimated to produce £2,855.
