The Engineer explained that in all the
bids the best English Portland cement was
/ TO be used for the arch, but in the column
specified as being for American cement
/ that cement would he used in abutments,
etc. while the highest figures were for
English Portland throughout. In the
higher bids there was difference of from
! s.. 600 10 1000 in the two cements. On
4l-foot bridge, the bids would all be about
$4,000 less. Mr. Hogc further stated il
was his opinion the final figures for guam
titles might cut down the total estimated
cost by 5000
