Laying Pipes for Water Works.


What would be the probable cost of
laying iron water pipes in trenches
from to 10 feet deep. The main
pipes would be 10 inches, branches
from 4 to inches with lead Joints.
What would be the additional cost for
valves, elbows and tees?
Twenty men would excavate about
200 feet of trench 10 feet deep each
day, three men would lay the pipe.
and ten others would fill it in. At
$1.75 per day the wages for laying 200
feet would be about 100000, which
would be about 80 cents per foot.
Valves and hydrants would cost about
$1.OO each to put in. These estimates
are for doing. the work in soil that is
