ioufsi very respocHuHy,
CHARLES H. Bliss,
true eopyD CITY Surveyor,
a. Have you made any other estimated A.
No, sir.
q. Has any other estimate been made BY
your assistant sincei A. have made no ON.
eial estimate myself. AN not proper person
to make It. 1t belongs to the surveyor.
z. Is 1t your professional opinion tn at thes
estimates Of the embAnk ment. and Of the ex.
cayation, required by this contract, are correct
as to street, A. They are as correct as Ap.
q. Then you consider them only approx.
mate estimAtesl A, | consider them Just 10
the light that all estimates are when work Is
to be done, and prelimin nary measurements
taken and estimates made that they are ap-
prOximAte.
q, Is there any way by which you can esti.
mate an excavation any more accurately after
the work is done than before the commence
ment of ~ A. A preliminary and final esti.
mate will necessarily vary somewhat because
when preliminary estimate 10 taken on
final estimate Is made after the work has been
properly staked out at every Irregular spot of
surface, there Will 10 all probability be dlf.
ference, aud marked difference.
q, But the question Is this. Is there any
way by which you can make = more accurate
estimate OF excavation after the work has
been done, than you can before Its commence.
mentI A. could have made a more accurate
estimate OF this than did.
q. Please give direct answer TO my ques.
tionl A. You cannot always see before the
completed. II may require some changes,
some additional excavations from what you
Intended In your hrst estimate, or perhaps
less.
q. Well, there is = certain grade for the
streets. Having the grade given 10 there any
way, ask again, by which you can make a
more accurate estimate after the work has
been done than before It was commenced A.
II everything Ia all right, the grade properly
hked, the cFOss-seetiOns all right, sc, prob
ably the estimates would not vary much.
Wlil you answer the question directl A,
10 NOT mink any engineer In the world
w2 di make an original and a final estimate
alke. That 10 about all / can answer
You decline to state whlGh way YOU can
make the estimate the most accurately A.
answer II BY saying that never knew OF an
mate and hnal estimate alike.
q. would ask II you cannot before the ex.
cayation 10 made better ascertain the charae.

than you can after the excavation is nadei
A. You certainly eau,
q. Then will not that fact enable YOU to
make more accurate estimate before the ex.

OF them armed with pistols, shot guns,

midnight, making night hideous with
yells, shouts, firing Of weapons. and Of.
fcnsive language. One citizens house
was struck with the contents Of dis.
charged gun, whether accidentally or not,
it is impossible TO sny, the window glass
broken, and his family disturbed and
driven from their beds in wild alarm.
Notwithstanding the gricvous character
Of this riot, no Interference was made o,
