VIII. APPENDIX No. 10.-BOARD RATES.

These are the rates at which work has been done by the Commissioners under contracts and extensions of the board of public works, the medium of payment being District 3.65 bonds. In the consideration of the question of these rates of the late board of public works, the printed evidence taken before the joint investigating committee of the Fortythird Congress, as well as the record of the action of the board of public works, in general and in particular cases, have been examined. The result is given in the following table, which gives the board rates as they have been ascertained and adhered to in the engineer's office:

This price has been allowed when contractors have furnished the gravel at their own expense, or obtained the material from excavation, where they were obliged to handle it twice. Where gravel was hauled long distances, the rates for excavation and haul have been allowed, based upon the actual amount of gravel handled. Where obtained and paid for in excavation in one street and hauled upon another, no additional compensation has been given.

In the manuscript of my report of November 30, 1875, was given a summary of main sewer rates, which should have appeared on page 373 of the printed report of the Commissioners of December 1, 1875, but which was, through some inadvertence, omitted. It is contained in this table.

MAIN SEWER RATES.

First. The cost of the work as obtained by a detailed estimate of its excavation and masonry, viz:

Rates for bricks, per M...

Rates for stone, per perch....

Rates for excavation, for 16 feet deep and less. per cubic yard..

and for all over 16 feet deep, per cubic yard..

Rates for shoring, per linear foot

Second. An addition of 15 per centum for contingencies. Third. A further addition of 15 per centum on account of the manner of payment.

The following are the bids upon which cash contracts were awarded by the Commissioners, after due notice by advertisement, and are considerably lower than the average of all bids received. It will be seen that they are generally in excess of the board rates:

cash at 70 cents.
