 Question F. Maps. I regret that I must refrain from attempting to answer this question, at my figure I should estimate could at best be only a very rouzfl estimate, on ac- count of so mary factors entering into the cost of maps. I would like to point out. however, that blue printing cost s2,376.24. shown on Schedule A, item 24. From an an- alysis-of the payroll vouchers I found that the salaries paid to draftsmen amounted to S22,791.36. However, many other items would enter into the cost of maps, such as cost of information obtained by surveying parties, engineers time. and a pro-
 
 head expense could legitimately enter into the cost of maps.

Included in Engineer ing general expense, $147.09. Includ- ed in Engineering office expense, $2,552.1S. Specification books, see Schedule A, item 23, S650.15. Total, S3,S9S.93.

Therefore, asSTwohy Broth CTS had to pay S6.40 and sS per ton 1 for freight on cement put into the roads, the excess on $40 and S4 had 1 to be paid back to Twohy Brothers as per the contract thus: | Excess of $40 per ton on 464.55O tons ............S 1,114.9E Excess of s4 per tho on l o11S4SS0 tons ......:... 204 ,539.5
