II New England construction
companys records covering a gem
Grafton OF operating costs are cor
rect as submitted TO the Boston
Chamber OF Commerce it is no won
der there is a housing shortage
everywhere The mystery is how
anybody manages to erect house
or Office building that can rent in
competition with structures put up
when men did a square days work
and mortar, plaster or even sand
did nit rival che price OF pearls.
Twenty-odd years ago, according
to those records. mason and his
helper laid 1900 bricks in a working
day Of eight hours for s5.25. To lay
those same 1900 bricks today costs
for the same labor s4O.S0. But whit
this makes IL cost the builder eight
times as much, in round numbers, to
get that work done now as it cost
then. the mason and helper do not
earn eight times as much money at
their trade. The reason is simple
enough. What it took the mason and
his helper only eight hours to do
twenty-odd years ago it now takes a
mason and his helper half a week
to do. In other words, the bricklay-
ing capacity Of a mason and his
helper has fallen from 1900 bricks
a day to 500 bricks a day.
At eight times the former rate a
thousand bricks, the mason and his
helper get two and a half times the
former wage a week because they do
only a third as much work. But
while the mason and his helper get
only two and a half times an much
as before, the cost to the man who
pays the bills has to be, of course.
that terrific figure OF eight times as
much.
And here is what all that means
to the man that rents the house in
which laying the bricks costs eight
times as much as before. There is
not merely eight times as much in
terest on the cost of laying the
bricks that must go into che rent;
there is eight times as much taxes
on the cost OF laying the bricks;
there is eight times as much depre-
citation, there is eight times as much
insurance on the cost of laying them.
The rent has to take in all of it.

WASTE ON RAILROADS..

From the Providence Journal.
Restoration of pre-war efficiency
on the railroads is ono OF the most
important OF tho questions at preH-
ent affecting shippers and passengers.
That labor has boen extraordinarily
ineihcient under tho agreements
foistod on the carriers by the Wilson
Administration there Is reason for
oehevingi the facts brought v.1t in
the current testimony at Washington
snow that extravagant prices are be-
ing paid for work not done aud that
the public is justified In objecting
to further increases In rates until
the railroad managers can prove they
are getting a fair equivalent in serv-
ice for the high wages established by
the government.
By abrogating the national agree
ment on working conditions It is as
serted by Chairman Atterbury OF the
labor committee OF the American
Association OF Railway Executives,
the railroads can save at least three
hundred millions a year. II this es-
Innate Is correct, and IL has not been
shown to be wrong, IL would seem
to be desirable to get rid OF the

or course holders Of soft jobs OBJ
ject TO a program OF efficiency; the
habit OF loahng is agreeable to the
seekers after easy money. and the
usual appeal for an inquiry by Con-
gress into the statements Of Mr.. At
lterbury has been made. But Con-
lgress is under no obligation to order
an investigation; the railroad COM
lpanies and the Labor Board after
hearing the testimony of all con-
Icerned can make whatever decision
is warranted by the facts; meddlng
by the President and Congress is
certain TO befog the real issue-the
maintenance OF higher standard OF
efficiency.
The public is weary of paying the
high cost OF inefficiency on the rail-
roads and is ready to support any
reasonable plan for the stopping OF
systematic loaing and overcharging
to the end that good service may be
had at rates that are not practically
lprohibitive.

WHY FAVOR THE LOCOMOTIVES
The Editor Of The Evening Journal.

The Editor Of The Evening Journal
Dear Hir; In reading over your
paper last evening l sec where an
engineer by the name OF James CAL
lagher, employed by tho American
Locomotive Works at schenectady.
N. Y, was travelling dead-head on
one OF the above firms locomotives
from Schenectady N. Y. to Cuba.
En- route he was selling liquor.
On his arrival at Cape Charles he
was arrested and found to have in
his possession on the engine fifty
quarts OF liquor which was confis-
Gated. The engineer was fined $3.50.
The question now arises whether
the engine should have been confis-
Gated as heretofore has been done
with all automobiles carrying liquor.

BY ALFRED ARNOLD
friend is one who's lived awhile
And learned a world of stuff;
Who smiles a kind of patient smile
Though things be smooth or rough
A friend is one who's tried you out;
Who's heard your every plan;
Knows all your weakness and your doubt,
And says II like that man"
A friend is one who stands lot;
Yet tells you you're a sinner
And after that, as like as not
Invites you out to dinner.
A friend is one who knows your faults,
Yet doesn't hide his own;
Who'd rather walk with one who halts
Than plod along alone.

COUNTY TAX RATE
FIXED BN BOARD
In Brunswick it is 18 Mills,
While in GIynn County 1t is
placed at % MiIIs.-This is
Same Rate as Last Years
Figures.


The board of Glynn county com
missioners held its regular monthly
meeting at the court house yesterday
morning and number of matters
were up for disposition.
Among other things the board an
nounced the tax rate for the year 1921
and it was placed at the same figures
as last year. In the city limits it is
Is mills and the country 90 mills.
These figures are reached by adding
the state rate of mills and special
tax of like amount which totals the
20 mills for the county and the Is
mills for the city. The rate on the
city not adding the state and special
would be 13 mills and the county 13
mills, but to the latter is added the
state rate of mills and the special of
5 mills, which totals % mills outside
of the limits of the city of Brunswick
1t is the hope of business men that
the county tax rate will be lowered
in the near future. improvements
are being made in all sections OF
.Glynn county while the expenses, il
anything, are decreasing as the board
has recently cut down several costly
items thereby saving the treasury q
