ROBERTS TELLS
OF ESTIMATES
Says Tribune Was Unfair
in Comment on Estimates
Made by Him
Engineer W. A. Huberts stales thut
the comparison of his estimates ub-
lisbvd editorially in The I ribuno of Or- '
tuber 24 was unfair in that it did not
Hive, tlit circumstances under which the
ehtiiiiates were made, or tho offers inado
by the Condor Water & 1'owur company,
upon which the estimates of a pumping
plant were based. I
Mr. Huberts stales that his estimates
of Juno 30 were based upon the offer I
mudo a few days before by tho Condor ,
company, in which they submitted a '
pumping proportion. Tho estimated
4-nsl of pipeline wns based upon six j
miles of J2-iiu-h pipe, two miles of 121 (
uud two mil h of 'J!' inch pipe, whereas j
the cHtiiuatcH made July 18 uud Oeto-
ber li.'t were for a LM, 22 and 20 inch 1
pipe, which accounts for (ho differences'
in the esliinated cost. In estimating i
the cost for the ten miles, Mr. ItobertB t
computed the cost directly in the ratio
of the diamcLcrH, making a 2H-ineh pipe
post :JK-I(I of ln, mil) pcr mile, and sim
ilarly for tho -I and U inch pipe the
diameters proposed by tliu coin puny
(if 1 0,0(10 per mile being at that time
the estimated cost of a 10 inch pipe- Kr,in, worthy matron of the O. K. S
I'114') was in tho valley the forepart of the
The Socond Estimate. , wiu.u on her way north to complete an
(u tho July IS estimate of the cost official visit to the subordinate chap
of pipeline, Mr. Jlnhert used tho fig tern.
ures given by the Condor company fur Mrs. .T. K. Knyart has returned from
the pipe instead for estimated ot. in,, two wn(,k8' Tjit at fllendale.
the estimate of October 2il he based r u r.Ariii,, -,vtt1i ,.f fin-
tlin estimateil font of pipeline upon the
bids rocoived by the city August it, for
the coimtructiou of the Wiihnou canyon
lino.
The difference iu t he various est i
mates of cunt of filters is due to the
fact that tho first estimate was for a
filler holding Kl.ono.nuo gullotiH of wa
ter as against u smaller filter iu the
subsequent estimates. In the eHlimate
of June .'10 Mr. Itoberti used the figures
quoted 'by Allan 1 1 a .en, who construct
ed tho Hand filters in Albany, X. V.,
who is the bent authority on filtration
in the United States, On n basis of
80,00(1 population the capitalisation for
filters under Hava 's eHlimate would
bo li0,000.
The second estimate of I lie cohI of
filters was based upon I lie cost of the
Oregon City filler as supplied by Dr.
Kay, namely, $15,000 for a million gat
Ion filter. The estimated cost of the
filtration plant under the climate of
OctolH'i' 'JH was also based upon these
figures, only a four-million gallon sup
ply wan figured upon iu order to nitiko
n comparison with other propositions,)
which culled for the delivery of 1 li ih
amount of water.

WARSHIPS AT SEATTLE
DURINQ THE EXPOSITION
SKATTLK, Oct. L'7, The I'uiled
Slates navy department Iihs been asked
to liuvc a large flevt of warships iu
,Seuttle harbor next summer during the
Ahmktt-Vukun Pacific exposition. The
Commercial club has tiiki-n up the mat
ter uud other associations nf business
men as well as the officials of the ex
position have tied or si" I the plan. It is
nggeled t hat the Pacific fleet con
sisting of the eight modern armored
cruisers be ordered to Seattle for at
least two mouths during the summer.
A prominent naval officer miggeitts
that the navy department assign u
sp cial fleet for the purpose to remain
at Seattle during the exposition, this
fleet to consist of vessels of each class
with some the famous old vessels. Two
i.f the 'Jfl.iiisi ton battleships, two 1.1,1 KM)
ton armored crimiers, two protected
cruisers of the Milwaukee type, two
gun boats, two or four torpedo boats
and destroyers, aud two submarines
with auxiliaries would make the heart
of the Americna visitor beat with pride.
These with tho famous Oregon at the
I'nget Hound navy yard, Dewey's flag
ship, the Olympia, Schley 's flagship,
the Brooklyn, the BohIoii, one of Dew-!
ey's fleet and the Vorktowu in which J
Fighting Bob Kvaus defied the whole -Chilean
navy may also be sent hT. if!
possible one or two of the Spanish
vessels captured by Dewey at Manila
and afterward reconstructed by Hob
sou, the hero of the Merrimac, would
make oa of the greatest Uaval displays
i'ver seen niiywhere and would certain
ty be u most fascinating feature to the
visitor from the inland stales.
