The records of the camp show that up to August 10 maintenance 
was provided for 2,351 team days, and the following table shows the 
number of team days actually employed and lost:

It is evident, therefore, that the team days actually employed 
formed only 70.7 per cent of the total number for which maintenance 
was provided, and the cost of a double team and harness per actual 
working day therefore was 
1.353-0.707=$1.91. 
All work teams were driven by convicts except that part of the 
time of the one free driver which was spent on the road work.
