From this it will be seen that the Estimate for the completion of the Earthwork now amounts to $2,587,580, an excess of $319,403 over the Estimate of 1909 and of $187,080 over the Estimate for 1907. It is impossible owing to absence of detailed figures in the Estimate for 1909 to explain how and where this excess has arisen and one can only say that notwithstanding the saving in the quantity of reclamation which amounts to some sixty lacs of cubic feet, the actual figures in Estimates for 1907 and 1910 for the work in Hung Hom vary as shown in the table on account of higher rates having to be paid than those originally estimated for. A further excess is the inclusion of the $60,000 now charged off as deprecia- tion of plant. This was not made in the previous estimates. Of the $114,600 required to complete the Earthwork outside Messrs. Leigh and Orange's contracts it will be seen from the details given below that a sum of $59,600 is set down for works not previously contemplated but which are now necessary to render the cuttings and the banks safe.
