THE COST OF HOME BUILDING
A 81, 200 Frame House of Fifteen Years Ago
Would Require SO, 500 Now Columbia
Noted for Handsome Residences.

contractor has to raise his bids ac-
cordingly.
A seven-room house can be built
in Columbia for $500. Fifteen years
ago the same house could have been
built for $4,000. The house used in
this estimate of $500 would be a
plain house, but would be all finished
ready for the decorator and the fur
nisher.
First Comes the Lot.
OF course a lot must be purchased
before the house can be built. This
necessitates an outlay Of 500 to
$500, according to location. The
most expensive lots are those near
Broadway and near the University
campus. To complete the prepara-
tions for building the grading has to
be done and this costs about SIS to
500. A sidewalk costs about $50.
The next thing to consider is the
cost of the foundation, which is
about S175 for the seven-roOm house.
1t would not matter much whether
you used stone, concrete or brick TO
make the foundation, because they
all cost about the same.
OF course the lumber bill will be
the biggest The lumber will cost al
least $1,000, besides the cost of car
pentry work. Yellow pine is mostly
used to construct the exterior of the
new Columbia houses. This costs
from $25 to $35 per thousand feet.
The shingles cost about 81 per
thousand. The interior finishing
mostly yellow pine or oak-sells for
about $12O per thousand feet. A
great difference in the lumber bill
depends on the kind of f1Dors-hard
or soft wood. A porch will cost about
S. a foot, or $125 to the ordinary
house.
Remember the Plumber.
While the carpentry work is going
on the furnace man puts in the fur
mace, the plumber puts in the plumb
ing fixtures, the electrician wires the
house and the brick layer builds
the chimneys. A furnace costs about
$3.50. Plumbing amounts to $3.50,
more or less, depending on the num-
Der and quality of fixtures. Wiring
generally amounts to something near
$50, exclusive of the price of fixtures,
which is about S. a room. Furna ;e
chimneys cost about 81 foot and are
generally 40 feet high, while kitchen
fiues cost only half as much.
The house is now ready for the
finishing touches. The plastering and
lathing are done by the plasterers
for 80 cents a yard and in the ordina-
ry seven-room house there are gener-
ally about 1000 yards. To give the
house a printing and two extra coats
of paint means another $3.50. If the
rooms are papered it will cost about
S. to $40 a room.
Now, adding this all up and giving
the carpenters money for their work
and the architect per cent for his
plans and experimenting, you will
have a house that has come within
the $500.
If the house is planned well it can
be made a very comfortable home.
The latest style is toward making as
much clear, open space as possible on
the lower floor. This adds comfort,
freedom and dignity instead of the
fussiness of small rooms. P. ]. T.

He's Human, Too.

Editor the Missourian: The ref
cree is human. He makes mistakes
Just the same as other persons. Stu
dents too often forget this. No man
can go through an entire game and
make every decision just as everyone
of the hundreds of spectators think it
should be made All the spectators
themselves could not agree on any
one play.
1t was unlike a Missouri audience
to criticize the referee when the
referee made one of his decisions in
the basketball game with Warrens-
burg recently. Such things do not
often happen when the Tigers are
hosts to visiting team.
But it had been a long time-almost
two months-since Missouri hackers
had had a chance to root. Maybe all
were a little over anxious to beat the
Teachers because of the defeat last
year. One student probably forgot
and started it. Others followed.
But let's remember the referee IS
Just like us-human. B. H.

The Hartford Republican is fight
ing for the same principles it fought
for months ago, and does not desire
to be hired to print a platform OF
Progressive principles, but the Hart
ford Herald can't be hired to print
a platform of Progressive principles,
but resorts to all sorts Of wiggling
to hide it's unwillingness to do so.
The resolutions to which it refers,
and which were adopted by some Da-
viess county Progressives was not a
platform of principles at all, but a
set of arguments against fusion with
Republicans in Daviess county. We
are in favor of home rule. Doubtless
the same conditions do not exist in
Daviess county as here. Ohio county
Progressives and Republicans are ca
pable of conducting their own affairs,
and they intend to do so, with or
without the consent of outside
parties.

In Its strenuous effort to create
aome dissatisfaction in the ranks Of
Republicans and progressives in Ohio
county, the Hartford Herald is pubs
fishing every thing in opposition to
fusion which it can clip from one end
Of the land to the other, and in 80
doing it is willing to discredit its own
party by such publication. For in
stance in this weeks issue it publishes
in connection with the Washington
dispatch showing the failure of the
prospect of the amalagation of the
Progressive and Republican parties
in Congress the following statement:
There can be no Progressive De-
mocrary, because the Democratic
theory Of States rights and progress

a county ticket, but not one word
in defense OF its administration at
