In reference to the balance oi It! A.- Yes, sir;
that is, those that be nas reierrea to in nis
testimony.
i. via you ten now it nappenea mat oeiore
anraDproDriatlon waa made, or tiny direction
was -given by Congress to- measure, this work,
you-wefe sent out to measure it! A. I can.
Q. What is it! A. I was Ordered to measure
it by General Babcock.
a), cnat is we only explanation you nave k
rive! A. No: tho explanation la .this : This
appropriation, aa J.understand it, of $1,240,000
wu penainginuongreas,aaa passeaiae noose,
and! believe had passed the Senate with an
amendment, and pending this amendment the
two Houses adjourned. It was believed that
the appropriation would pars,. and Governor
Shepherd requestel General Babcock to bave
tho measurements made, so as to be done and
rn-'rtv jut ran aa the aDnranrlatlon Dossed:
-: j -r- Z ..rr . . '
therefore I commenced me measuremciu unaer
Gcncr at Babcock'a orders the 23d of December,
13T2, and completed them. T am speaking
from memory of these dates now the 10th of
Januarr. 1S73.
JJ2Q. It was for the purpose of having the
measurement reaay 10 ge. tne monry as &wa
as the appropriation was passed? A. Un
doubtedly. Q. Turn to pare 9 of the report of 1S73, If
you please-. When you were on toe stana
before I called your attention, you will per
haps remember, to your letter given on page 9
Lor that report, and which seems to be in an
swer to a letter OI uenerai dsdcock io yon;
was what you did, which you refer to in that
letter, also In anticipation of and for the pur
pose oi procuring an appropriation, or do you
know what the purpose was! A. I will '4ell
you what the Intention was: Governor Shep
herd wrote a letter to General Babcock to de
tail an engineer for the purpose of antlmating
tne amount OI woraiaai naa ocea auas nugc
the last appropriation had been expended.
General Babcock detailed me to do this work.
This waa in November last. I commenced
making these measurements, but found that
there was not going to be time to make a
proper measurement in time for tho Gover
nors annual report. I told General Bab
cock so, and suggested to him that we
take from the vouchers of the bosrd
the amount that bad been expended on this
Government work since the last estimates had
been made. General Bibcock aPcedcd to it
with this proviso, which I waa to state to the
Governor, that In ease Congress should make
an appropriation on this estimate that he was
to send In. that he. would reserve the right to
remeasure the entire work. Acting on tnat,
either myself or General Babcock wrote to the
Governor I, thick I wrote a letter and Gen
eral Bshcoek slimed it to -furnish us with
po..ia-a -cuplc vi un vruciiwif Jm femve vc
me Bosraoi ramie worm pertaining ioiuis
work showing the amount expended. These
vouchers were furnished to me the. Identical
vouchers presented here Saturday, and on them
and other vouchers I based this estimate, to
gether with the few measurements i naa maae
In the month of November.
O. Now. vou cay In this letter of yours that
"the estimates of work done by tho Board of.
rubllc works are bared partly upon actual
measurements and partly on estimates made
by the engineers of the board. Copies of the
latter, showing the various Items of the work
In detail certified to by the chief engineer of the
board, with the amount appropriated by Con
gress' deducted, are herewith submitted."
What actual measurements did you make! A
Work around Rawlins aquare.
Q. That had long before been estimated
upon A. It enters Into this statement.
Q. Far what reason! A. Because there was
a deduction made a correction made.
Q. What other work did you actually meas
ure! A. I would have to- bring my booki I
had that book here Saturday and took it back
and forgot to bricg it this morning, If you
wish It i will dellever it to you. I -would not
like to ssy from memory tho particular streets
that I measured.
Q. I. nolle? In all this appendix none of your
actual measurements are submitted in this
letter. In fact, you stated in that-letter that
copies of the estimates made bv the engineers
or the board are submitted, but .your own
measurements are not submitted. A."No, sir;"
mat was simpiy my ueia-DOOK. oi tee measure
ments. They were very few, and I did not
geua it to ueuerai saococa. lie viuaersiooa
It, however, '.thoroughly. Practically these es
timates are based upon estimates of the board
of engineers,.
Q. You do not pretend, If I understand you,
to say that these estimates- that are made by
the board of engineers 'are rrect estimates!
You do not Intend by-your letter there to verify
those measurements! A; No-, air; neither do I
Intend to say. they are not correct.
(J. No, of course not. In'jther words, you
do not commit yourself one way ort the other
in regard to It! -A.-Just so; ana that was the
ray I explained It to General Babcock, and. lie'
so understood it. . ,
fii In. other .words, when these tables that
are presented here in. connection with.youx let
ter come-here to this committee,, they, do not
come herewith any Indorsement of yours as to
tbelf being correct or. incorrect! A.. Practi
cally not.
Q. You simply band them here to the com
mittee r'j they were' hahdrd to you. and vou
have applied .no test to .determine whether
.they are
ire correct or Incorrect I A. No test of
actual .measurement, ' with Ihe'excepllon pf

Q.. Who was with you at the time you made
that measurement! A. Mr. Forsyth and Mr,
Oertlv. I believe.
Q. In what way did you make that measure
ment A. pj going into tne sucet. . .
O. What kind of data had you with which
to make it! Did' you havo any cross-sections!
A. -No, sir; l nave never naa any cross-sections
cj. How were'you enabled, -then to get at the
quantity! For Instance, you will find 6,238
cubic yards of "grading. How were you en
abled to get it toe quantity on Louisiana ave
nue, for example! I only give you that as a
specimen.- Also, 6,338 cuble yards of haul,
and 6,319 cubic yards of grading, and 6,819
cubla yards' of haul. Howdidyouget at those
quantities without any cross-sections, or any.
thing of that kind by which to guide you! A.
I had to rely on such information as I could
get in that case, the work as it shows on the
ground, and the vouchers that they had paid
contractors fbr a. -similar amount.
q. Which did you placo the most reliance
upon, the voucher that they bad paid con
tractors, or the Indications that you would find
upon. the ground! A. Well, in. this particular
Instance 1-placed more reliance on the vouch
ers, becauso It was impossible to measure the
grading accurately. "
j. It wu Impossible for you to get at It ac
curately! -A. res,' sir.
q. Did Mr. -Forsyth and Mr. Oertly, or either
of tbem. call your attention to the fact that
that embraced the old work, the work that had
been done by the old: corporation! A . No, sir,
0.. STouwereln ignorance of that fact! A'.
.Yes, air.
Q.Yoaknewnothlng about it! A. Nothing.
0. -Now. if vou. will take that table on page
S3; report of 1873., I desire to call your atten
tion to it, because there is a matter, in connee-
tleawlth this now, -that .when the Governor
was on the stand he said he;was-.unable,- to ex-
flaln, and IX there la any way of explaining it,
desire .to get at ths.truth in regard to it. You
may now taxe, lor exAmpieLew-rfcrsey,ave-nue.

A. No, sir; he- told me how he had arrived at
the results on Maryland avenue.
Q. What did you svy to, that! A. I do not

measured; tnat l toon ilb eircc. i iuuuu i,
and that my measurements would Include all
work that bad ever been done on that avenue.
O. Old and new! A. Oldand new.
Q. Then he told you about Maryland avenue
as well aa the other avenues! A. Yes, sir; he
told mo that there was a difference there
hetween htm and ma.

old as well aa new work? A. Yes, sir.
O. You see the point that 1 desire to get at
by, this question. It Is simply this: Did Mr.

He dia not.
O. DU not he evince a disposition to give to
you, fully and thoroughly! the results of all
Lis measurements! A. -Only on those avenues

made! If he did not, what were omitted! A.
MrBllckensderfer told me that be was going
tamako a tabular statement, (this was pre
vious to my last interview with him,) saying
tiow he was going to put It down. In one
column he would put ay measurements, and
In another column his measurements; but I
have never seen these tabular statements, nntll
I saw them In print; neither havel seen any of
bis calculations in regara to any wor wnat
ever except those avenues,
Q. Including Maryland avenue 7 A. I do
not think I saw the calculation for Maryland
avenue.
Q. -Well, he told yoa. generally .that he dif
fered with you. and ha Stated the amount of
tne uincicDcei a. icB,ir; jbv uu puu
ably necessary for ms to see that.
O. Your explanation was that he had In
cluded work which you did not Include, was it
not! A. No: my. explanation waa that I had
Included all the old work, but that the cross
sections Indicated that tharehad been old work
done In the avenues; and fc think he ssjdif that
was included it would-' probably come some-
irhero in Uw .-ncisbborbooa of.tb quantity I
made.
Q. In other words, your mutual explanations
W2re such as In your Judgment made It un
necessary for yon and bo together to go oyer
Maryland avenue! A. Yes, sir.

all the information he bad, did he not! A. on
thoso avenues!

O. What omission did he make! A. I cer
tainly eipected. when I made my final call on
Mr. Bliekensderfer, which waa at General
Babcock's request, tnat ne wouia invite me to
see the results and calculations on those re
servations P-street circle, Scott square, and
Bawllns square.
Q. Which he did not show you! A. He did
not offer to show me.
Q. Did you ask him for them! A. I did

been mado while the work was in progress.
' Q. Upon which these vouchers were' bued!
A. Y?ilr.
Q. Then those measurements of yours, r
estimates, were upon completed work; do you
mean, to say that!- A. -In many Instances.
