REDUCE CARPENTER
ITEM ON BUILDING
Contractors Decide on q Rate of
ST an Hour, Instead Of Pres
ent Rate Of ST. 80.

An important step was taken last night
al meeting of local building contractors
which is expected to give q new impetus
10 building operations after January |.
! This is the announcement OF new rate
! for carpenter work on the basis of 81 per
hour, instead of the rate at present IN
force of 81 80 per hour.
This is reduction of about 25 per cont
in the item of carpenter labor, which Is
such an important factor in the cost. OF
construction, and is expected to be fol-
/, lowed by similar adjustments in the wages
of stone masons and concrete workers.
With reductions already made and
to come in the prices of building materials,
n brisk revival in building Is looked for at
once. as it i. known that many projects
have been lying dormant until the extreme
costs which have prevailed since the be-
ginning of the war period should decline.
Taken in connection with the approach
ing completion of the larger building
operations now in progress IN the city
which will hberate an sppreoiable amount
of skilled and upsklled labor, the building
prospects for the coming year are much
more promising than for some time past.
