STATEMENT OF COST OF CONSTRUCTION
The following figures are for the bridge and approaches complete ready for use. No costs of operation or maintenance since the bridge has been opened to traffic are included, and none of the income from toll receipts since the bridge has been in service is considered.
There is first given a tabulation of all expenditures according to construction contracts with the amounts paid by each County to each Contractor. (Table A.) There is then given a complete tabulation of the total cost separated into the principal units of the structure and into portions paid by each County. (Table B.) This table includes all the costs according to the construction contracts and also all the other features not covered by those contracts, such as right-of-way, engineering fees, etc., and gives the final total costs of the entire bridge and approaches.
There is then given a statement (Table C) of the financial condition of each County fund, again referring only to moneys having to do with original construction cost and not with either receipts or expenditures for maintenance and operation. It ap- pears to us that Clarke County has not given full credit to this fund for interest or moneys held during construction, but may have diverted the interest to some other fund. If this interest were credited to the fund the balance on band would be a little greater than that shown for Clarke County. ‘
This final statement is followed by a detailed distribution assigning to each of the items as given in Table B the amounts from each of the contract numbers as given in Table A. The principal unit prices are also given.
