Streszczenie
We discuss the problem when $\aleph _1$ sets are contained in a $\sigma $-generated $\sigma $-field on some set $X$. This is related to a problem raised by K. P. S. Bhaskara Rao and Rae Michael Shortt [Dissertationes Math. 372 (1998)] which we answer. We also briefly discuss generating the family of all subsets from rectangles.
