Gentlemen,
We beg to acknowledge the receipt of your letter E./321/29 of 21st August covering correspondence with the Colonial Office and shall have pleasure in
acting in the manner proposed as Consulting Engineers
for the above railway in accordance therewith.
To prevent misunderstanding hereafter we think
it well to state now that our charges will be based on
time occupied by principals at the rate of £10.10. 0
per day of six hours and on time occupied by assistant
engineers, draughtsmen and clerks at rates varying
according to the grade of the men emploved, from £3. 3. O
to £1. 1. O per day of seven hours. These rates would
cover general office and administration charges, but
we should require, in addition, to be recouped for any
expenditure to which we might be put for special assistance
outside our own staff as well as for travelling expenses
etc.
We shall be happy to offer you from time to time
any explanation of our accounts when rendered and to
justify them to you if necessary from our books.
