There Is a general popular opin ion that the actual cost of any con struction undertaken by a munici pality will Invariably exceed tho en gineer's estimates, 25 to 60 per cent being considered by Ynany a conservative allowanco tor such ex cess . In tho roport.of the city engt- noor of New York (whose real tltlf Is "Chief Engineer of tho rioard of Estimate and Annortlonment") for tht years 190G and 1907 Is present ed a. table showing tho estimated find actual costs of all s.ewors; grad ing and pavlug done in tho various borough's during .tho six proVlous. years.

Tho grading cost, $710,440.11 which was il.G per cent lea's than the esti mate. Tho excess In tho cost of sow ers and grading shown by thoso fig ures would seem to Justify tho opin ion above referred to. But tho oth or four boroughs show an entirely different sUito of affairs. In Brook lyn tho sewers coBt $3,030,543.22, vhlch was 5,2 por cent leas than the estimates. Tho grading cost $1, 368,221.30, which wns 3.1 por cent less than tho estimate. Tho paving cost $1,820,590.20, which was 13.1 nor cent less than tho o3tlmato. In the Bronx sowors cost $1,773,768.27, which was 0.2 por cent less than the o3t!mato, and the paving cost $1,- 680,473.30, which wns 17.6 per cent less than the estimate.

In other words, tho testimony of tho natives thut their fathers told them 40 or 50 years ago that they had seen the mountain smoking has been entirely discredited. But last year tho Gorman govern ment sent tho distinguished geog rapher, Dr Hassert, to make a sci entific, study pf tho great mountain, and in tho report he ha3 just pub- uauuu no suustantintos tho state ments of the natives.
