PRICES PAID FOR MAKING UP.
The following brief statement of the prices paid in different parts of the Kingdom will be of service as indicating the general run of prices. In the first column we have the average of Provincial Logs, which has been compiled from some forty different Logs, obtained from different parts of the country. This is quoted at, so many hours, ,the rate per hour varying between 3d. and 7d. with an average of rather less than 5d.
Thr second column is the London Uniform Time Log, and here again the price is quoted in hours; the rate per hour varying from 6d. to 7d. in the different classes of trade.
Both these Logs are for hand work and provide for reductions for machine work.
