Prudhomme
inquired
of
Mr.
McBae
how
many
piers
were;
built
at
that
point.
"I
will
answer
only
under
the
instruction
of
the
city

(
replied
MeRae.
Aid.
Brown
Insisted
that
the
foreman
should
answer
the
question.
MeRae
then
stated
that
there
were
five
piers

23,
inches
and
from
16
to
22
feet
long.
Considerable
discussion
ensued
on
the
necessity
of
such
large
piers
being
used.
j
W.
Rice
was
then
called
to
giva,
expert
evidence.
His
experience,
,
Mr.
Rice
stated,
included
having
been
in

for
two
years
of
the
designing
and
construction
of

had
been

The
question
of
use
of

then
came
up.
One-half

would
have
sufficed,

In

been
able
to

estimated
that

been

that
