To cover general expense, 3% should be added to all the costs above
given. The costs per foot of pipe-laying include the setting of all
specials, valves, and stand-pipes. The difference of cost in laying
11-in. and 3-1/2-in. wood pipe is not nearly as great as the difference
in diameter or the total quantity laid on record days. While the record
is 4,000 ft. and 8,345 ft., the 76 miles of pipe of all diameters were
laid in a total time, including all delays, of 223 days, or an average
of only 1723 ft. per day. The cost of the 11-in. pipe is covered by 7
cents per ft. The pipe was laid by a single gang as fast as it was
received from the factory.
The reduction from 7 to 3-1/2 in. at Mile 230 (Plate V) is on account of
delivering water to the Santa Fe's new transcontinental low-grade line
which crosses the El Paso and Southwestern Railway at Vaughn, and has a
division point there. On its adjacent divisions, the Santa Fe had the
same trouble with local waters which compelled the El Paso and
Southwestern to find a better supply.
