During the hearing of a compensation claim in the Supreme Court at Wellington recently, says the “Post,” evidence was given by a quantity surveyor that last year the cost of construction was 60 per cent, greater than in 1016, while this year it was 58 per cent, greater. Other witnesses agreed that there had been a slight decrease in building costs this year. One stated that the decrease had been brought about, not through any reduction m the cost of building material, but on account of labour being better. More men were offering, and contractors could pick better men and get better results. WHEN YOUIi SPIRITS ARE LOW TAKE MARSHALL’S FOSPHERINE. Life to-day demands plenty of energy and pop.
