Why Plans on the Million- Dollar Viaduct Were Rushed. COLLIS WASTED TIME, Many Contractors Refused to Bid on the Slipshod Specifications. GREAT CHANCES FOR JOBS, How the Engineer and Contractor Can Conspire to Exceed the Estimated Cost. COURTS MAY THROW OUT THE BIDS So Blrune to Engineer WlHlnninon Dtd the Dent He Could In Two Time. Owing to delay and bad Judgment displayed In the Department of Public Works, which necessitated tho hurrying of plans for the Riverside extension viaduct, aa told exclusively in The World yesterday, tho Interests of tho public arc likely to suffer materially.

That Is the opinion of expert engineers and experienced contractors who have examined the plans and specifications, tho terms of which are so vague as to admit expending many thousands of dollars In excess of what the bids Indicate. These bids are based on unit prices for estimated Quantities. Tho contractor simply agrees to furnish Iron and steel at a current price per pound and stone work at so much a In tho absence of detailed drawings and plans most of clauses In the specifications contain tho proviso "that the stonework or Ironwork specified shall conform to drawings to be furnished by the engineer as tho work progresses. After the contract Is awarded It rests between the contractor and engineer to arrange those matters between thorn. The contractor's Interest Is to make the work as cheap as possible.

If the cn- glneef Is venal he can easily close his eyes to "skimping" In tho work. On the other hand, the engineer has autocratic power to Insist on elaborate and numerous details of construction which will largely Increase tho cost of tho work In weight and measurement. In cither case the city Is the loser. Why Contractor)! Kept Ont. That Is tho reason several largo contractors of this city refused to bid on tho work.

All those that did recognized tho fact that they were taking large changes. It is generally agreed that no blame attaches oP. Stuart Williamson, the engineer who made tile plans. Experts say ho turned out remarkably good work In tho brief tlmo of two weeks allotted to him. Tho responsibility rests with the Department of Public Works.

Tho law authorizing tho extension of Riverside Drive was passed by the Legislature May 22, 1KI7. It allowed six months for tho filing of plans. to much valuable property had to be acquired long the route north of Manhattan Valley, and muchm opposition was developed among property owners. Repeated public hearings were held without settling the matter. This caused some delay, but no such conditions existed on the line of tho viaduct.

As an example of expllcltness in specifications, those referring to fhe railings in both jobs may bs taken. The speelllcation for the brliigo reads: I The metallic rujl.ng along the viaduct anil west side of north which will bo 3 half rail on wide girders bo of neat workmanship and finish, according to the detailed drawings furnished, and set true to lino and plumb.

Unions with tho stone pedestals at either end of tho viaduct to be with or- nalnental brass sleeves. The cornice will consist of a roll-steel plate, eilgeil with a top and bottom roll as shown, wlljh stamped steel rosettes at about four-foot Intervals. At the end of each whore each section of cornice fln- Ishbs, and under a swivel post, a cast- Iron ornamental break In tho line of the cornice will be placed and secured fitting close to cornice." Henri (ho Kent. railing specification for the Riverside viaduct reads: "A wrought-lron railing must be furnished for each sidewalk of tho str.ol portion of tho viaduct; set with wrought-lron, open newel-posts, over each post of the structure as shown.

Details of newel posts and railings will bo furnished by tho ciutlneiir." It thus remains with the engineer to demand as plain or elaborate a railing as 'h(i chooses. A contractor whose bid on the viaduct was among the lowest said "1 imust admit that tho plans and specifications are not as carefully done as a work of such magnitude demands, Dcc-lnlon In the Cnslno Cnnc. i ILLNESS OF KATHKYN KIDDEK.

That however, would bo a hardship to thi contractors, who wont to conslderabli trouble to omako tho estimates. Mow ever, none would complain except tin w.nnere." John D.
