After. some discussion it was
evident that the majority of the
members present desired to be in
formed of the reason why the act
ual cost Of said Highway differ
to such an extent from the orig
inal estimate Of the costs as fur
nished by the State Highway De-
partment.
To this, Mr.. Kerr readily stated
that the previous estimate was
based on the assumption that the
drainage of said Highway was
perfect and that no dirt had 20
be removed from the bitches, that
the estimate covers only the num-
Der Of cubic yards Of dirt consti-
tuting the shoulders. Mr. Kerr
further stated that the freight on
gravel was two cents per 100
pounds when first estimate was
made, when freight rate on gravel
increased from two cents to three
and one-half cents from the date
of first estimate 20 the beginning
of operation on said Highway.
Mr.. Kerr further called the atten-
ton of the gentlemen present to
the fact that approximately
5000 cubic yards of gravel were
used over the first estimate and
taking all this in consideration
and for the fact that the. cost of
gravel increased nearly thirty per
cent the difference between the
first estimate and the actual cost
of the Highway is thoroughly ex-
planned.
