Where wood sheathing, lath and cementstucco showed cracks at 2100 pounds pressure, the txick plastered metallath sample showed no cracks at 3500 pounds, the limit of the machine.Distortion at 2100 pounds for the back plastered construction was 3-16inches whereas for the sheathed construction it was V^ inches. Metal lath as a base for cement stucco construction needs no intro-duction. Its usefulness as a fire retardant and its success as a stucco basehas been estalilished through a period of long service. Unfortunatelyprospective builders have looked upon it as costly and it has been placedin the class of fire resistive materials, desirable but too expensive forhouse construction. In back plastered construction it is possible to use metal lath toadvantage and without adding to the expense and at the same timeaccomplish all the desirable qualities of a permanent structure at noeconomical loss. In this type of construction a metal lath stiff enough to span the

The stud framing used for this type of construction issimilar to that used for other types except that braces between the studsare set back one inch from the face of the stud. The cost of back plastered construction is cheaper than most typesof wood sheathed construction, besides the added advantage of strengthand durability which the wood sheathed type does not possess. It hasbeen our experience that close to 10 per cent can be saved over theexterior cost by use of this type of construction. Back plastered construc
