Increased Cost of
Brick is Offset by
the Lesser Upkeep

A report recently made by the commit
tee on fire protection of the Boston
Chamber Of Commerce includes some in
teresting figures on the comparative cost
of frame and brick construction for
dwelling houses, says the Insurance Post
The conclusion was that the slightly
greater cost of brick, which averaged un-
der 10 per cent more than frame, was
more than offset In few years by the
lesser cost of maintenance and insur-
ance and by the greater comfort and
durability OF the structure.
The report says that when lumber was
cheap and brick was more expensive
than now, the Idea became general that
the cost of brick as compared with frame
was almost prohibltive, and this con-
tinues, although the conditions have
changed so radically that the cost Is now
little more and the ultimate cost less.
Bids were obtain on a modern eight
room house, of good design and excellent
arrangement, such as is frequently built
in and about large cities. and on these
the bids of the five contractors varied
comparatively little, and so the average
was taken as a fair test of the practical
cost the contractors including their prof
its in all cases. The average bid for the
various types was as follows, the second
column showing the percentage OF excess
cost of each type over the clapboard type:
Clapboard ..............$6,759 90 per cent
Shingle ................ 6,S6S 1.O6 per cent
Ten-inch brick wall,

ding .................... 7,l5s $50 per cent
The committee corresponded with con-
tractors in various parts OF the country
In making up It's report, and found from
them that brick buildings were commonly
estimated to cost 10 per cent more than
frame, while brick veneered buildings
could be put up in many sections for
per cent more than the cost of frame
buildings, the difference in cost being
usually more than offset by the lessened
insurance premium.
