In the plan advanced by members of the building trades council in a meeting held in tbeir offices Monday evening. The builders believe they can save from $300 to $500 on a five room houss through iheir plan. Briefly, the plan is as follows: The man wishing to build a hou;-e is to be furnished mechanics at a wage scale of ten cents per hour less than is now being charged by general contractors.
The house owner will buy his own lumber, and let his own sub-contracts. It is claimed that this plan will represent a substantial saving to the man wishing to build a house. As an instance they say that the ten cent per hour cut which was to have been put into effect by the general contracted, would have meant a saving of only four per cent on a $4 000 hous5. Henry Dietrich, chairman of the Master Builders' association, when questioned Tuesday as to his opinion of the plan, said he had no statement to make at present.
