ENGINEERING FOR LAND DRAINAGE. 



Schedule for Making Estimates, 



The following schedule, subject to amendment as 

 prices vary, may be used in making estimates. The 

 weight of the individual tiles varies somewhat with dif- 

 ferent factories, as does also the length and diameter. 

 The joints from some factories are I2| inches long, 

 while from others they are even 12 inches. The 

 prices here listed are, at this date (1902), considered 

 fair average prices at the factory. The joints of tile 

 1 2 inches in diameter and above should be 2 feet long 

 for convenience in handling and for strength.

* If large and small sizes are loaded in the same car, the freight cost will 

 be lessened on a field list of tile. 



Hatding and distributing tile can be figured by the 

 cost per ton, using as a basis the number of loads 

 which can be hauled per day, when the road is good, 

 by one man and team. 



With wages of team and driver at $3.00 per day, 

 two men, each with a team, working together so that
