I am correct in stating that the estimate furnished by the Fisher himself. During the discussion, it was pointed out that the conclusion arrived at was that the total cost was not excessive.

A committee showing that, having in view the whole construction, the estimated cost of the clock tower, the architects' original note was $320,000. This estimate was revised by Mr. Fisher and increased by him to $80,650. It is now apparent, according to the statement, that the total cost of the tower, when completed, would amount to $896,712, or fully $576,000 more than the original estimate. It would appear that Mr. W. Fisher's estimates are not infallible.

My building estimate is essentially the same. The total cost of the contest is both misstated. Moreover, Para. (9) is fallacious.
