COST OF BUILDING.
The price of building can scarcely be said to be coming down in some towns if comment made in the Supreme Court at New Plymouth is to be relied upon. A case was heard in which there was a dispute in regard to the workmanship in connection with the erection of a fiveroomed brick bungalow at_ Nolantown, Hawera. Counsel for the nlamtiff said the contract price given in 1920 was £1250, and Mr. Justice Chapman commented that it was a low price. He know in Wellington that it was impossible to get anything satisfactory at much less than £300 per room.
