The building industry is a very honorable and useful line of work for a young man to enter. If should in* terest the best young men because the best young men naturally want to do something constructive. To succeed, however, in the building industry one must be well trained, very industri- ouus, be able io control -sufficient cap ital and know how to inspire labor. Any young man who fails to have these four assets should take up some other line of work. n The finest kind of a building bus iness to dev^pp is one on the basis of cost plus a ffxed amount for superin tendence. I don’t believe in the cost plus 10 per cent basis as then the contractor’s profit increases with the amount he spends. Such a basis is wrong in principal and there is great opposition to extending it in contract ing. The “cost plus a fixed amount,’’ live in. It is almost impossible to; however, is a sound basis.
