In compliance with your request
of recent date for an article or short
letter from me using as a subject the
cost-plus plan of construction, will
endnavor to give few lines, on the
subject, not that I have had very
much experience with same but be-
cause ! am an ardent supporter of
same, especially in these abnormal
times, and because of the fact that
I am deeply interested in the plan,
and its adoption by the reliable con-
tractors of the country.
GAS heretofore stated, my expert
ence has been very limited along
these lines, and have only recently
begun to take work on this plan, at
present having three jobs under con-
struction on this plan, and having
just completed two other jobs which
were taken on this plan. And l will

dealing with a local or home man
who has reputation to maintain and
whom he knows or believes to be hon.
est. And it is perfectly safe for him
in dealing with a non-local man or
concern, one who is we'll established,
if ne will protect himself with the
proper specifications and contract on
his work. However, some owners in
sist on giving their work to men or
firms without any reputation or ties
which one might expect would make
a man live up to his obligations, SIM
ply because these men or. concerns
come into community and bid on
work, get few jobs and "skin" them
and are soon gone to other fields.
But they really help us fellows who
are here to stay. For this owner will
surely not get stuck in that same
way any more. 1t simply means that
we fellows who are here to stay will
get his next job.
"After all the cost-plus plan is the
only one which is absolutely fair to
both owner and building contractor.
If the owner is dealing with an hon
est, established man or concern who
has a reputation for doing good work
and executing contracts and busi-
ness obligations in straightforward
manner, first, for the reason that the
owner gets value received for every
dollar invested, no matter how little
or how much he puts into the job,
and second, for the reason that the
contractor gets a reasonable fee for
his services, and has no chance to
lose, neither does he have chance
to make an unreasonable amount on
the transaction.
''The general public need have no
fear of a contractor making more
than he deserves to make on any one
lob. Of course there are some ex-
ceptions. But it has been my ex-
perience that contl actor in the
building trades line really does more
hard work and spends more hours
per Qay ana more InougHI Ill Ills Wol
and at the end of the year he finds
that he has really made less than
any other man would in any other
line handling the same volume of
business.
''I am looking forward to this edi-
ton of the Index with great deal
of anticipation, and am sure that l
will get a great deal out of same
that will be of benefit to me in my
business"

state that in all the cases it has work
c3 remarkably well, proving entire
ly satisfactory to beth myself and t
owners.
"While | realize that there is a
great opportunity to run up the COS )
of work taken on this basis, and |
know of instances where same was
done, and | find the average man
who is contemplating building does
not take to this plan at once, but it
requires a great deal of real argu-
ment, and necessitates the producing
of statistics, and data to convince
him that it is a safe plan for both
parties concerned and the only real
sensible way to build.
my reasons for putting same into
operation, and trying to promote this
plan of construction are as follows

S1.O1 SPENT FOR
EVERY 81 GIVEN
RED CROSS HAD REMARKABLE
RECORD OF ECONOMY IN
WAR.
Money Given In Third Roll Call To
Go Mainly for America and
Americans.

Atlanta, Ga.-There are two facts
about the Third Red Cross Roll Call
which campaign leaders in the south
are emphasizing-on the fact that the
Red Cross has proved it's ability and
trustworthiness to handle funds in a
business-like way, and the other, the
fact that the money received in the
Third Roll Call will be expended al
most wholly in America for the benefit
of the American people.
When anybody asks whether money
given to the Red Cross will be frit.
tered or squandered, campaign speak.
ers turn to its war record and point to
the remarkable fact that for every dol.
lar given by the American people, 1.0l
went to the actual purpose for which
the money was intended In other
words, each dollar earned two cents
interest. One cent of that two cents
provided for expenses of administra-
ton, and the dollar itself and a cent
besides went to actual relief work.
! If the Red Cross could do that in
the war, when no organizations and no
nations were any too careful or eoono-
mic in the way they spent money. Red
Cross workers declare, it is certainly
to be believed that the Red Cross will
do as well, at the least in peace times,
and that money given In the Third
Roll Call will 80, not for expenses. but

right where the man or woman who

First, that you can't get around the
fact that the old saying is true that
the Consumer must pay the freight;
second, in these normal times of high
prices of labor, serious shortage of
finished mechanics in the building
trades lines and strikes and unrest of
labor, together with the continued
advance and shortage below the de-
mand in building materials, CON
tractor necessarily has to figure a
margin of profit on a fat-price con-
tract. which really is not justice to
the owner, but the contractor has to
do so in order to protect himself
from those things which are likely to
happen to any of us at any time.
In my estimation the owner is
absolutely safe on the cost-plus plan

HOCUE EXPLAINS
ADVANTAGES OF
COST-PLUSPLAN

That the cost-plus plan for build
ing is the best method to be pur-
sued in these times of abnormal con-
ditions, is the opinion of Ben C.
Hogue, Americus contractor, detailed
in a paper published in the current
number of the Industrial Index, of
Columbus, Ga. In the paper Mr..
Hogue shows how it works to the ad-
vantage of the builder, as we'll as the
contractor, because on the fixed
price plan the contractor must esti-
mate profit large enough to protect
himself against radical changes in
prices of material labor, etc which
in the end is very likely to make the
job cost the builder more than the
other plan Confidence, of course,
in the contractor, is necessary, he
shows. Following is his paper:

PENNANTS FOR CHAPTERS
THAT GET MOST ME MBERs

Atlanta, Ga.-Chapters of the Amer
lean Red Cross in the southern division
that make good records in the Third
Red Cross Call, November Pill, will
not go unhonored. 1t was announced
today at southern division headouar-
ters of the Red Cross that a pennaut
is offered to the chapter in each state
that secures the largest number of
members during the Roll Call in pro-
portion TO the population of the county
in which the chapter is located An
ether and larger pennant will be given
to the chapter that secures the most
members in proportion to its popula.
ton competing against all chapters in
the division, which includes the states
of North and South Carolina. Georgia
Tennessee and Florida. There are 539
chapters in the entire division, and to
win the division pennant will be quite
a job as well as quite an honor, as
many of the chapters already have be-
gun an active campaign for members.
The pennants, which in themselves
will be a fitting ornament to the wall
OF any chapter house, will be awarded
as soon as final results are tabulated
at the close Of the campaign.

After months of preparation by 1000
Red Cross Chapters, with their 1900
branches and 10000 auxiharies, all
over the country, the Third Red Cross
Roll Call for 100000 members, now
Is getting under way with a tremen-
dous sweep in every part of the nation,
From Red Cross Sunday" November
2, through "Armistice Day." November
Ii, the great drive will continue.
Not only Red Cross chapters and
Red Cross workers are mobolized to
insure the success of the Roll Call in
the Southern Division, which includes
the state of North and South Carolina,
Tennessee, Georgia and Florida, but
the organized women of these states
have pledged their aid. and the re
turned soldiers, represented by the
American Legion have pledged their
support as well to a man through
their national officers. Ministers
throughout this division and through
out the United States have taken up
the cause.
The need of the Roll Call and for
those who will answer "Here!" can be
set forth tersely. The Red Cross
/ fights for American humanity - 1t
fights against ignorance, sickness, suf
ering and misery in every form. For
ne Red Cross, the war is not over.
And did you think the war was over?
'hen ask yourself few questions Ask
5ourself what is to be done about
The 250, 900 disabled fighting men?
The 500, 600 American boys who were

The 100000 people who die annually
