SRERRL AL T Oakland Office San Francisco Call, 1118 Broadway, Nov. 22. The “lump sum’ method of placing a valuation on the Contra Costa Water Company's property for purposes of reve- nue only has been developed as one of the ways that items of $10,000 and upward are being piled on to the enormous total which the water company claims as the worth of its plant. Engineer L. J. Le Conte is in part re- sponsible, according to his evidence on cross-examination to-day, for this lump- ing of valuations. His testimony also dis- closes a remarkable system, of doubling up in estimates. Mr. Le Conte informed Attorney Hayne that he had included “In | a broad, general way" in his figures upon | numerous items of construction all of the tools and other paraphernalia required for the work specified. Following that by a of close questioning, Attorney Havne also ascertained that the expert | had made arate and specific valuations upon those same tools. So the city’s coun- sel finds that this peculiar system ac- counts in some measure for the millions | of valuation which are going into evi- dence. It was apparent from Hayne's cross- examination to-day that he had started a hot campaign to do a lot of smashing of cxpert testimony. The further peculiarity in Le Conte's estimates is the fact that he was given a lot of estimates of quantities of materfal, etc., used in construction, made by Engi- neer Boardman. Upon these estimates he placed his valuation without regard for the existence of any of the work, the water company depending upon Board- man for figures only upon the condition of the works in 1886 That same year Le Conte furnished the city of Oakland with an independent esti- mate of valuation, but it appears from his testimony that he was compelled to rely upon what the late Anthony Chabot had told him about construction. The Boardman and the Le Conte esti- mates as to quantities of material do not entirely agree. For example, to-day a question of sluices was raised. Le Conte's figures showed five miles at $2000 a mile; Boardman's figures were three miles. This discrepancy was noted by Attorney Hayne as an evidence of the conditions under which the expert testimony is going upon the record of the case. The water company has the Le Conte | valuation of the plant in 188 in evidence. It is now supplementing that report with the present day estimates of the same en- gineer based ‘upon Boardman's figures. Engineer Boardmah, who has been in the cmploy of one or the other of the com- bined corporations since 1886, was not | asked a question concerning construction after 1886. Starting with the Le Conte-Boardman combination of estimates for 158, the water company has added its valuations | upon construction since then, and thrown | in the valuation which William J. Dingee and Expert ndams have placed on the | Oakland Water Company’s plant. After Le Conte has been retired from the stand, | the water company still has_experts | Schuyler of San Francisco and Kierstad of Kansas City to examine. Yesterday afternoon Engineer Le Conte plaining how he had placed a valuation on horses. This afternoon the session closed with the expert explaining upon what theory he valued “‘boats and barges’ at San L. at $750. Judge Hart abruptly irt at 4:21 o'clock while T.e Conte and Hayne were discuss- ing sluiceway valuations. SAYS NORTH CAROLINA IS A McKINLEY STATE Senator Pritchard Attributes Bryan’s Big Vote to Outrageous Negro Laws. United States Senator J. C. Pritchard of North Carolina arrived in the city ves- terday. He is at the Palace. The Sen- | ator has been in Oregon, where he went to intercede with Governor Geer for a Tennessee boy who is serving a term In the Oregon prison. Pritchard is on his way home and he will remain in San | Francisco only a day or two. The Senator Is a_prominent North Caro- lina Republican. He was sent to Wash- ington to fill a vacancy and in 1897 was re- elected for a full term. In_ speaking of the national election in his State he said | that McKinley should have carried North | Carolina_by at least 25,000 plurality. As | it was Bryan swept the State by 15,000. | The reason he attributed .o the sutrage- ous laws in force there which disfran- chise the negro voters. In the listricts | where this law was enforced Bryzn's | gains were_very noticeable. Senator Pritchard savs the business | men of the South, almost to a unit, be- lieve in McKinley's expansion policy, and it is a foregone conclusion with them that the cotton industry of the Soath will ben- efit by it. et MAN WHO LED VOLUNTEERS ON VISIT TO THE COAST General Greene, a Prominent Eastern | Business Man, Visits San Francisco.
