WAY ENGINEER ESTIMATES,
Mr.. Fulmer Says, However, journal
Figures Were Correct.

The city engineers department does not
agree with the figures given in the Journal
as to the cost Of asphalt paving. City En-
gineer Jeup yesterday figured out the cost
of the proposed Seventeenth-street improve
ment and concludes that the cost of the
asphalt paving alone is about 81 a square
yard. The number of lineal feet to be i'm
proved is 2,A6 on both sides and the con-
tract was awarded at So q a foot. This
would bring the total cost Of the improve
ment to $7,577.5S, and the total number OF
square yards of pavement to be laid is p
767.41 The city engineer divides the total
cost by the number of square yards which
gives the cost s2.1o a square yard The city
engineer then says, This Is an erroneous
method of figuring, as the entire cost in
cludes not only the asphalt but the cost of
such appurtenances as grading, inlet, catch
basins. sewer connections, inlets from catch
basins and sewers, cost OF straight curbing.
cost of curbing round corners and marginal
stone, If any. Another deduction from the
total cost of Improvement besides the other
items should be made on account of the 20
cents a square yard guarantee and the prob
able cost of keeping the Improvement in re-
pair for nine years. The city holds the guar
antee fund for use in case the terms of con-
tract are not kept. In addition TO this. the
treasurer withholds 3 per cent. OF the money
due on the contract for two years in order
TO pay bonds in case of delinquencies on the
part of property owners" Mr.. Jeup figures
the cost of this Improvement. with the ex-
ception of grading, at STA a square yard
and deducting this item, he calculates that
the cost of the Improvement is about 81 a
square yard as 1t costs IA or Is cents a
square yard TO grade.
Mr.. Fulmer, of Siebert & Fulmer. which
firm formerly owned a portion of the stock
OF the Bermudez Company. yesterday said
that the figures in the Journal and the
method Of calculating the cost were as near
correct as IL is possible to make. He further
said that 1t was a difficult matter to reach
a fair estimate OF the cost by the sarare
yard, but he thought the prices on the diff
ferent Items were quite accurate. In
the calculations made by the Journal. the
cost OF all items mentioned by the city en-
gineer was deducted and the cost by the
square yard found with the deductions

a selfsufflcient ass. Eugenie's chiefest
fault was that she was dabbler. Not
satisfied with her unchallenged suprema-

interfere in politics, for which she had an
infinite lack Of capacity. As her Inhu-

Last week the mines
Crested Butte of the Colorado Fuel

Crested Butte were
closed down for an indefinite period. The
officers OF the company say it is because
coal can be mined cheaper at other
places. The miners claim it was due to
threatened labor troubles. Whatever
the cause this bit of news is heard with
regret. That thriving camp will suffer
great loss should the mines remain idle,
which, however, we can hardly credit
with being probable. There has been a
