As a general statement, the actual cost of labor is about 33-1/3% of the
total cost of the construction work, including materials. Fig. 20 shows in
graphic form the amount of the labor pay-rolls and the progress of the
work during the whole construction period from 1906 to 1909, inclusive,
comprising also that done under contract.

TARIFFS AND SANITARY REGULATIONS.
_Tariffs._--The tariffs charged for the water and drainage service (Table
17) were approved by the State Government (which accepts the
responsibility for their collection), under a compulsory State law which
came into force on March 1st, 1910, for the southern portion of the city,
and on July 1st, for the northern half, the penalty for non-compliance
being a tax of 10% on the monthly rental value of the property, as
assessed by the State officials.
