Rensselaer Semi-Weekly Republican, Volume 34, Number 20, Rensselaer, Jasper County, 8 November 1901 — A Real Utopia. [ARTICLE]

A Real Utopia.

The town of Dunwich, in Australia, seems to be a real Utopia. With a population of one thousand souls, there have been in four years just two births and two deaths. There are no streets, no omnibuses, trolley cars or railway trains, no soldiers, no police, no shops. There is a beautiful theater to which everybody is admitted free. Clothes are furnished free of charge and so are food and lodging. Very few do any work, and there are no hotels. Very little money Is required, and medical attendance Is free. A lock-up Is there, but it is never used. If one wants to send a letter and is short of money the missive is stamped free. A free library and hospital form part of the make-up of this peculiar municipality.
