Note. - This estimate is figured on outlet boxes at all outlets; and includes a main cabinet and main switch to connect with the meter and to cover the meter, on an eight-circuit panel-board, which allows one spare circuit. The panel-board is to be made of slate, with slate gutters and linings, with good wood door and trim.
The labor is estimated on wages being $3.60 per day for a journeyman, and $2.00 per day for helper. This price is above that paid in small places, but is below what is paid in some cities.
