In yonkers, no change in construction costs was found from a year ago until now. The cumulative 17-year increase in 15 cities in the New York—New Jersey metropolitan area is 145 per cent. This means, Matthews says, that the house with $7,500 worth of materials and labor in the pre war year will cost $18,375 today. By a year from new he predicts it will cost $19,200, or about five per cent more. Yonkers is found at the average level with a 145 per cent increase. White Plains, however, shows a 155 per cent increase, and the $7,500 house of 1941 would now cost $19,- 195 and, a year from now, if Matthews is correct in his pre diction, it would cost about $20,- 000. Building costs are higher in New York City, Matthews found. For each building dollar invested in New York City construction, an equal amount of floor space is avialable in Yonkers for 93 cents and in White Plains for 96 cents. 16 North Westchester Times, Mt.
