Excerpt from Ventilation of Buildings
Before I leave this part of my subject, I will mention one other difficulty in the way Of ventilation, and this by no means a small One - I mean the cost.
Although efficient ventilation will not cost a very large sum per room, it cannot be denied that somewhat will be added to the expense Of the house, and this some what the speculative builder never will add until he finds intending tenants and purchasers refuse to take houses which are not properly ventilated.
As with houses, so with all other build ings and works; if we make up our minds to ventilate them, we must also resolve to pay for it.
