Bureau Of Labor
Completes Analysis
Al Fairway Hills
individual Unit Costs
Of Eight Homes Ranged
From $3.50 to s., 500

The United States Bureau of Labor
Statistics has just completed q de-
tailed cost analysis of eight low-cost
demonstration homes erected in the
latter part of 1898 at Fairway Hills,
Nd, the Laboratory Community
of the national small homes dem
onstration.
The study reveals that these one
and two story houses, ranging in
accommodation from three to seven
rooms, were erected at cubic-foot
costs, for labor and material only,
Of from 1877 to 27.8 cents.
Individual unit costs range from
$2,280 to $500. not including land,
contractors profit or development
Of grounds.
The study brings to light the in
teresting fact that as unit costs
for houses are reduced, the balance
between labor and materials is
broken, in that materials greatly
exceed. labor. About IS per. cent Of
the money spent in this expert
mental construction went for labor
at the site, while IS per cent is
consumed in the purchase Of ma
terials.
In the eight demonstration homes
about $1,000 was spent for car
pentry. including $4,000 for labor
and $1,000 for materials. OF the
$1,000 for materials the cost of
lumber and millwork accounted for
5000. Material and installation
costs on kitchen cabinets, general
hardware and insulation were in
cluded in carpentry.
About 1000 man-hours of labor
at the site were reported. Car
