 112. In works of this description, is it usual to put a considerable amount for contingencies?

Usually ten per cent.

113. Have you added to this a sum exceeding ten per cent.?

The amount of contingencies at ten per cent would be 205,000l.; I have put it at 294,648l.

114. Which makes the sum altogether 2,500,000l.?

It does.

115. Look at this paper, and tell me whether the estimate is correct?

It is.
