The question has been asked -whether the funds to be raised by authority of the citizens of Anibler, and by outright grant or gift from th8 Federal Government, will bo autfllclent to 'meet tlie expense of the project. Thc answer to this is set forth in detail in the article appearing last week wherein tho estimated cost of completing Districts Nos. 2, 3 and 4 in Ambler, as computed by the en¬ gineering firm of Albrigt and Friel, Inc., is compared with similar sewor construction work in nearby commun¬ ities, prom that computation it would ai>pcar evident that the estimate pre¬ pared by Albright and Fi-iel, Inc. is conservative and allows an ample ,• margin of safety in computing the ^t'ost of the project. Of ten similar pro- llhJocts recently completed, the average •y tost por foot is $3,24. Tho foot cost for the Ambler project Is computed at $4.50, and this unit price, applied to the cost of constructing 52,089 loot, which is the amount of the sewer yet to bo constructed In Pistricts Nos. 2, 3 and 4, totals $210,960.45. To this should be added the cost for jirlnting lho bonds, advertising, overhead, leigal opinion, interest during construction, contingoncles. engineering and future administrative expenses, thc furthoi- sum of $25,403.18, a detailed statcuiient of which ai>pears in the application to the Public Works Administration for thc Federal grant and is avallalblo on request, tot.alllng $236,302,63.
