HARRISBURG TELEGRAPH
BOARD OF PUBLIC
WORKS COMMENDED

and explains to date the public im
provement situation In Harrisburg.
Here are a few of the particular items:
The Improvement Program

years, beginning July, 1902.
Total expenditure, $1,513,496.45.
Engineering expenses, fees, sal
aries, Including designing and su
pervision, $149,484.78.
Percentage of whole cost for
engineers, etc., 9.9 per cent.
Savins? on type of dam designed
by Mr. Fuertes alone, $125,000.
Expended during year June 1,
1914, to June 1, 1915, $203,620.66.
Engineers, supervision and de
signing, $11,440.58.
Percentage, 5.6 per cent.
Work yet to be done, amounting
to $13,000, as follows: River wall,
$8,500, Including cost of plaza at
pumping station, to be paid for by
water department, but supervised
by board's engineers; Paxton
creek, $4,000; river dam. SSOO.
Approximate time for com
pletion for all work, weather and
water conditions permitting: Pax
ton creek, July 15; wall. August 1
or 15: placing of remaining slabs
on dam, same time.
Approximate cost of engineer
ing expenses to complete jobs,
$1,500.
The board submitted its statement
in answer to councilmanlc action of
last Tuesday, when definite action on
the Gorgas resolution calling for the
dismissal of all the subordinate engi
neers and employes of the board on
July 1 and the completion of the
works by the City Engineer's office.
Asked for Postponement
City Engineer M. B. Cowden, J. Wil
liam Bowman and E. C. Thompson,
members of the board, and J. D. Jus
tin. the board's engineer, attended tht
meeting.
Commissioner W. H. Lynch asked
for Indefinite postponement of the
Gorgas resolution, taking the stand
that the work was so near completion
that it would be folly to turn the Jobs
over to the City Englneer'e office at
this time. The engineer, It Is under
stood, under any circumstances would
have to employ practically the same
men as are now employed by the
Hoard of Public Works to complete the
work because of their familiarity with
the situation.
The Statement
The statement of the board in full
is as follows: •
"The activities of the Board of Pub
lie Works cover a period of thirteen
years, beginning with July, 1902. Dur
ing this period the city has entrusted
uS with the expenditure of $1,513,-
496.45. This figure is the total cost to
date of all the Improvements with
which the board has been entrusted.
Out of this total cost the sum of
$149,484.78 was spent for salaries, fees
and expenses of the engineers and as
sistants who designed and supervised
the improvements. Thus the engi
neering cost of all these improvements
was 9.9 per cent.' of the total cost.
"It should be borne 'in mind that
without the employment of compe
tent engineers the design and construc
tion of Harrisburg's public improve
ments would have been utterly impos
sible. Engineering costs properly vary
widely with the character of the struc
tures involved and with the speed with
which the work is executed by the
contractor. If the bids are low the
engineering percentage will, of course,
be higher than as though tt\e con
tract were greater. A complicated
structure like the filter plant would,
of course, show a higher engineering
percentage than a simple vitrified pipe
sewer. When structures are located
in or near water courses this fact has
the tendency to increase the engineer
ing percentage, for floods hinder and
delay the work.
The Saving: On the Dam
"Accordingly it is not always just to
use the engineering percentage on the
structure as an index of the efficiency
with which the work was designed
and executed. Had our dam been built
in accordance with any of the stand
ard designs for such structures known
to the engineer the cost would have
been at least three times what it was.
Mr. Fuertes originated this type of
design at a saving of at least $125,000
over any other design that could have
been used. The engineer cost in either
case would have been about the same,
but the engineering percentage for the
more expensive structure would have
been less ,than one-half that for the
structure as actually built.
"During the past year, June 1 to
June 1, the board has expended on the
various improvements the sum of
$203,620.66. Of this total $11,440.58
was for the salaries of the engineers,
Including Mr. Fuertes' only bill of S7B.
This is an engineering percentage of
5.6 per cent, which is considerably be
low most engineering percentages.
This low engineering cost is partly
accounted for by the efficiency of the
engineers themselves, who at certain
seasons work both at night and day.
To inspect construction work from
7 a. m. to 5 p. m. and then work In
the-office until 11 p. m. without addi
tional compensation is more than is
expected of most city employes.
Only Worth to be Done
"It is a fact that the Improvements
are nearlng completion. There still re
mains to be done approximately
$13,000 worth of payment work, di
vided as follows: River wall, $8,500,
Including the wall at the pumping sta
tion, which Is to he paid for by the
Department of Public Safety, hut su
pervised by your board of engineers;
Paxton creek. $4.n00; dam. SSOO. in
i addition to this there is work totaling
several thousand dollars which the
contractors are required to do under
their contract but for which they re
ceive no additional compensation. In
cluded in this class of worlc Is the fol
lowing: Cleaning of all structures, re
placement of condemned work, patch
ing of minor defects, cleaning out of
conduits, grading, etc.
. "It would seem to be almost self
evident that the men most competent
to supervise the completion of any en
gineering work are those who by long
experience on that work are familiar
with Its every detail. It will also be
more economical to have those familiar
with the work complete It. The finish
ing up of an engineering contract is
always the most critical and trying
stage of the work.
Ten Days to Wind l"p Job
"After the work is entirely com
pleted final estimates must be finished
and presented to the contractors and
the final settlements made on each
contract. At the final settlement on
every contract there are a number of
loose ends, frequently aggregating
many thousands of dollars.
"We have our estimate figures in
such shape that within ten days after
the "final acceptance of the work on
the contracts we should he able to
make our final settlements and wind
up the affairs of the board. With
favorable weather conditions the en
gineering cost to complete the im
provements should not exceed $1,500.
The work on Paxton creek with fair
weather should be finished by July 15
and the river wall with favorable
water conditions by August 1 or IS.
The placing of the slabs on the dam
should be completed at the same time."

slower Harry F. Bowman, superinten
dent of public safety, the award of
the contract to the Gamon Meter
Company having been approved this
afternoon hy Council.
The Gamon company's meter was
selected after a month's endurance
test of nine machines which Mr. Bow
man kept in operation for a month.
The Gamon company bid "$5.45 for
the five-eighth inch type; 18.60 for
the three-quarter inch; sll for the
one Inch; sl9 for the inch and a
quarter; $21.50 for the inch and a
half and $35 for the two inch type.
It was the lowest of the bidders
whose wares made the best tests.
Council by "3 to 2"
Votes Commends Methods
of Public Works Board
By a i vote of 3 to 2, Council this
afternoon approved of the activities
of the Board of Public Works and en
dorsed its actions in handling Har
risburg's hundreds of thousands of
dollars worth of public improvement
funds by postponing, indefinitely,"the
Gorgas resolution directing the board
to dismiss by July 1 all the engineers
and other subordinates in its employ.
Mayor Royal and Commissioner
Gorgas, who voted against postpone
ment and who insisted on passage
of the resolution, declared they did
not mean to criticise or question the
board's work.
Commissioners Lynch, Taylor and
Bowman all pressed Mr. Gorgas to
tell "what was behind" his resolu
tion, or as Mr. Lynch put it "who was
after the board?" Mr. Gorgas didn't
say other than to declare that he
meant to save money for the city
and that the city engineer could do
the work. City Engineer M. B. Cow
den explained to council that even
though his department would have
to take over the Jobs under way, he
would naturally be compelled to hire
•the men who are now in the board's
employ as they are familiar with the
work and capable he thought to com
plete it.
Curfew Ordinance Passed
The curfew ordinance was passed
finally with the bell or whistle sec
tion cut out. Mr. Taylor alone voted
against it as he usSd the Mayor's con
tention that the measure was worth
less for enforcement with the bell
or whistle section eliminated. Mayor
Royal declared he thought the meas
ure would lack force aspolice regula
tion, without the bell or whistle sec
tion. However, he voted for the
measure.
Action on the $300,000 Walnut
street bridge measure was postponed
until the first meeting of August by
Mr. Bowman who said that if the
ordinance was not passed within
ninety days of the general election,
the city will have to bear the cost of
a special election.
Mayor Royal questioned Commis
sioner Taylor's park police and play
ground instructor appointments and
asked if council ought not by law
approve of them. Mr. Taylor said
this had never been done before but
he was willing to submit them to
council. The Telegraph Printing Com
pany and Aughinbaugh Press sub
mitted bids for printing council re
ports, which were laid over for a
week.
