Ratio of Cost of Plant and Works
Ratio of Cost of Plant and Works.
The cost of the plant, taking its saleable value as one half of what it cost, is 9½ per cent of the value of the work done by it, which is also reasonable. The cost of the railways and branches is 13½ per cent of the value of the work done, which is high, but of course was unavoidable.
