noticed by everyone. In fact,
the public could not very well
avoid seeing it because it has
been under way for the past
six months. This sewer was
estimated to cost $2,235. A
bylaw was passed fixing the
price at $2,500 and the prop-
erty holders were assessed on
; that basis, the city paying a
goodly portion of it. Accord-
ing to the city engineer's re-
port, the cost was a trifle under
$2,500, the cost of rock exca-
vation being $4.81 per cubic
yard and of earth excavation
$1.25 per cubic yard. These
are the figures given to you,
Mr. Ratepayer. The facts are
that the sewer when completed
will cost very near $3,500 and
the price per cubic yard for
rock will be anywhere between
$11 and $15. . This is where
we show you how the engi-
neer’s figures are juggled:
The specifications for this
sewer call for 290 lineal feet
of trench, the average depth
of which is 13 feet for a
length of 50 feet and 9 feet 6
inches for the balance of the
distance. The plan on which
sewer trenching is figured is
two feet wide at the bottom
with a slope of one in eight in

rock, and no slope in earth.
This is the basis on which
contractors are given sewer

work. Figured out there are
360 cubie yards in the trench
of which 225 yards are rock
and 135 yards are earth. Thus
if the city paid a contractor $9
a yard for rock and $1.50 for
earth, the sewer would have
been completed for less than
$2,600. If it had been put in
at the cost given in the engin-

 

THE AFTERMATH

out that there were 622 cubic
yards of excavation instead of
360. He measured the over-
break for which the contractor
would get no pay. Overbreak
is the extra earth and rock
which falls into the trench, It
has to be removed but it can-
not be charged for in meas-
uring up to compare the cost
price per yard’ with contract
work. A contractor in submit-
ting his tender, figures in re-
moving all overbreak free be-
cause he gets no measurement
allowance for it. Thus it is
that 260 yards of excavation
are converted into 622 in order
to prove to you how cheap you
are getting your work done
under the supervision of men
with “puddin’ jobs.’

We have told you that this

sewer has already cost the
whole amount raised by the
assessment to pay for it.
Where is the money coming

from to finish it? Either an-
other assessment will have to
be made against the property
or another juggle will be made
whereby the general ratepay-
ers will pay for it. A water
pipe line is being laid in thro-
ugh that alley now. It may be
framed up to charge up the
back fill, the carrying away of
the surplus rock and the re-
grading of the alley to the wa-
ter works extension. This
would be a smooth way of
making up the extra cost. The
property owners who are sup-
posed to pay for the sewer
would not have to pay an ex-
tra assessment; there would
be no kick and nobody would
be the wiser.
