Estimates and

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

Tho grading cost, $710,440.11 which
was il.G per cent lea's than the esti
