Home Cost
Dip Noted
In Report

The cost Of owning a home
declined In June for the first
time since July 1857. But gov
eminent price experts said yes
terday they doubt that this IA
the beginning Of a regular
trend.
Rather. they predicted. there
will be up and downs In forth
coming months In the cost Of
various components which
make up the cost Of home own
ershlp.
One ofiicial Of the Labor De-
partment's Bureau OF Labor
Statistics said the direction was
down In June not only on the
cost Of buying q new or existing
house. but also on such things
as mortgage payments, hazard
insurance. maintenance and re-
pair.
The bureau does not publish
separate figures on the cost OF
buying a home. but includes
other cost factors in a general
classification.
One ofiicial said the bureaus
figures on the cost Of buying a
home are not published sepa-
rately for fear they may not be
sufficiently accurate statistically
to give a true figure.
Over all. the cost Of home
ownership declined well under
! per cent in June.
