16 BULLETIN 583, U. S. DEPARTMENT OF AGRICULTURE. 
Some damage and loss is inevitable in moving buildings of any 
sort a distance of 32 miles. That resulting from the transfer of these 
buildings was very slight. The total damage consisted of one broken 
tie rod, one broken rafter, one broken collar beam, and four broken 
window lights. The loss amounted to 190 board feet of lumber, 6 
gallons of roofing cement, 12 squares of 2-ply ready roofing, and 10 
pounds of roofing nails, the last three items resultmg from the neces- 
sary reconstruction of the roofing laps. The tie rod, rafter, and col- 
lar beam were repaired at the camp, and the cost is included in the 
labor cost. The other items are added to the labor cost in Table 1, 
which shows that the total expense of moving the four buildings was 
$191.70.
