COST OF BUILDING HOUSES

Estimated for Same Building

once upon q time says a writer in
Country Life in america. there was a
magazine which offered prizes for plans
and photographs of houses that cost
/ S-.U00 70 build. An architect in a little
inland town won first prize. His house
was finer and larger JIan those Of the
city architects.
There vas some grumbiing among the
losers. and many readers were skepti-
cal.

Cost Varies Greatly.
Il costs less to build in Philadelphia
than IN Boston or New York: f. costs
still less in certain small cities which
are not near large cities ana vet possess
iirEt-clsss shipping facilities; il costs
I less sull in small towns IN the lumber
belt. where labor and lumber are both
srcap.
The difference is not q slight one;
( The difference between the highest and
. lowest extremes sometimes amounts 10
~ lmost 600 per cent
: Many factors enter into the compare

zones are labor and material

ber affect the cost of building in like
proportion.
/ The price Of labor varies greatly.
| Where the union system is strong as
IN New York. the cost OF both skilled
and unskHled labor is at the maximum.
In other places the union scale IS lower.
ana the cost OF labor is still less where
there are no unions. Labor is a very
large item in New York and a very
small item in many country towns.
For example, the services OF a good
carpenter can be obtained in Chau-
tauqua. y. Y. FOR 8 day while car
penter in Rochester, iey miles or 50 dis
tant costs 81 a day. Naturally. the scale
OF building costs in one place cannot

Want Pastor Returned

A large part OF the congregation OF
the Perryville NJ. L. Church have
made an urgent protest to Bishop
Goodsell against the removal OF their
pastor Rev. Asbury Burke, to Cape
Charles. Va. Others in the congrcga-
ton are said TO be opposed to having
Mr.. Burke returned. This faction has
received his successor Rev. G. c. Aid
erson with great cotdiality. while the
others, though not acting in any way
discourteousiy. have not greeted him
with the usual warmth. The feeling OF
the dissatisfied members was so strong
