CONTRACT FOR WORK
II MANILA HlRBOR

The harbor work at Manila, Is to be
let on August /, 1901. This contract
viii include the completion Of the east
and west breakwaters-comm I'M
der Spanish rule; the building OF pile
bulkhead, 400 feet long. with piles
furnished by the government: and
dredging basin and a 3O-foot channel
to deep water. The approximate
quantities are: Dredging. 5000. 200
cubic yards, of sand, shells and mud;
riprap, 100000 cub. yds.: concrete and
rubble masonry, 2l,000 cubic yards, the
stone to come from government quar-
ries at Mariveles or Biumgonau, about
thirty-fve miles from the city OF Ma
Mia. A crushing plant steam launches
and lighters will have to be provided
by the contractor. The required bond
Is 100000 In gold. The conditions
are so complicated that II is to be re-
GREETED that the time is hardly sun
Nently long to permit the sending OF
an engineer to the spot to first study
the problem; as this precaution would
be necessary preliminary to an in
telligent bid. Labor in Manila will cost
at least ~ lMcxican) per day; though
coolies could be brought from China
for half that sum. and are better work
men. Transportation is costly; 80
to 40-ton lighter will cost about s25
(Mexlcan) per day; ami will consume
two days In bringing one load of rock
TO the work. Steam launches cost
from s35 to $50 tMeX!can) per day, and
will tow two or three loaded lighters;
but these launches and lighters are
both exceedingly hard to get.
