  ========================================+=============+================

From Table 5 it is seen that the cost of the 63.5-cm. pipes was 3.37
pesos for material plus 0.46 peso for labor = 3.83 pesos per pipe, or
6.26 pesos per lin. m. (1.91 pesos per lin. ft.).

The cost of the 55.9-cm. pipes amounted to 2.66 pesos for material plus
0.42 peso for labor = 3.08 pesos per pipe, or 5.05 pesos per lin. m.
(1.54 pesos per lin. ft.).
