To be -presented by the Government with anything up to one third of the labour costs on repairs, additions, alter Tone, renovations, drains, and concreting, painting and paper-hanging, and up to one half of the labour costs on new buildings is certainly a substantial help, and undoubtedly a. gift far too big for anyone who cam possibly take advantage of it, to pass by. In times of financial stringency such ns we have been passing through the average householder is often reluctantly compelled to let many jobs stand over, which in normal times he would have attended to without delay. There is no differentiation to the subsidy payable on the various kind, s of work; it is one third of the labou r coats on everything but new buildings, and on these, as previously stated, the amount of subsidy is up to ten shillings in every pound.
