Corresponded With Contractors.

The committee corresponded with con-
tractors in various parts OF the country
in making up its 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 j
per cent more than the cost OF frame
buildings. the difference in cost being
usually more than Offset by the lessened
insurance premium.
In the same way estimates were OBJ
tanned on annual cost Of maintenance in
Guiding depreciation, for frame and brick
dive lings, and it was found that the
frame dwellings cost 26 per cent more for
maintenance and depreciation than the
brick dwellings.

BRICK BUILDING COST
OFFSET BY DURABILITY
Use of Non-Combustible Material
Urged After Interesting
Investigation.

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
under 10 per cent more than frame, was
more than Offset in a few years by the
lesser cost of maintenance and insurance
and by the greater comfort and dur
ability 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 prohibitive, and this con-
changed so radically that the cost Is now
little more and the ultimate cost is less.
Purpose of Investigation.
The purpose Of the investigation was to
encourage the use of brick and non-com-
bustible interior construction for the pur-
pose Of fire prevention. and this form of
building was very strongly urged by the
report. Bona fide bids were obtained from
five different contractors Of good repu-
tation on the cost Of the construction of
dwellings of brick, wood, cement and hol-
low blocks, the houses to be the same in
every particular. except the outer walls.
Bids were obtained on q 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 fair test of the practical
cost, the contractors including their
profits 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 clap
board type:
