The •proportion, of the over- head expense of/the association, borne by each house therefore, It would seem, is higher than the jmat of tlie real estate involved. . The report shows that in addi- tion to $15,190.55 from the orig- inal appropriation for the Home Builders' association, there has also been Rpent $9,180,16 for gen- eral expenses, and $18,423.48 for sundry . expenses inconnection with the general administration of the association, and not direct- ly connected with any of the building projects. t In this connection It may be said that the pay roll of the gen- eral administration portion of the concern seems to hsve been $2,- 871 per month at the time the . audit was taken.

f V analysis of, the' report of the audit of the Home Builders' associa­tion of North Dakota shows that mu-Ii house ballt vup to': the time

iwftsee of the association, : •. At" this tbne the audit was made

02 building projects, had been be­gun, of .which 20 had' been oom-p'eted. tip to this time, as- nearly .as can be figured from the facts available -1n the report, the over-, (wad expense luul been $42,75$.-10, which distribtitrd among the

- 62 houses oil an equal basts would amount to f 712 per hoone,

• and would grow larger if the houses were, completed.

V . This overhead was for the gen­eral. administration of the asso-

v clatlon and. It could not lm charg­ed in any'way .to the construc­tion of-tlie liouscs themselves,

y It wonld appear lhat the aver­age oobt of materialn and con­struction in the houses thus erect­ed had been $3,851 per house, while the average'real estate cost p^r house was 9581.

The •proportion, of the over­head expense of/the association, borne by each house • therefore, It would seem, is higher than the jmat of tlie real estate involved. . The report shows that in addi­tion to $15,190.55 from the orig­inal appropriation for the Home Builders' association, there has also been Rpent $9,180,16 for gen­eral expenses, and $18,423.48 for sundry . expenses inconnection with the general administration of the association, and not direct­ly connected with any of the building projects.

t In this connection It may be said that the pay roll of the gen­eral administration portion of the concern seems to hsve been $2,-871 per month at the time the
