answer i1 yes" II il to he included
In the cost Of the dwelling. but its
cubage Ia TO he taken at o~ne-fourth OF
the actual contents In figuring the con-
tents and the cost. In other words. a
porch twenty feet long. ten feet vide

consfdered as OF 500 cubic feet. In that
case a house Of 1880 cubic feet with a
porch Of 1000 cubic feet would come

contents established by the programme.
MAY drawings be made directly on
Bristol board instead Of on paper and

asks. Again the answer Is. Yes
Either method will be entirely satisfac-
tory and acceptable. A stif backing
