encourage development from
now on, ia lower costs for construction ot houses and tor repairs. It may be objected that
building materials are high, due
largely to the growing scarcity of
wood products. Also that labor
costs are very bigh aod likely to
remain ao.
It a determined effort, were
made all over the country to get
boilding cost down, it could
perhaps be dona. A feeling of
ambition is needed among workmen to. torn oat good day's
works. The costs of maintenance
oro now ao bigh in most places
that maoy people neglect the
repairs and improvements that
ought to be made. The attention
ot oar industrial leaden ought to
be given to tbe problem of reducing these costs.
