=186. Organization.=—The number of men employed on a brick or block
sewer is proportioned according to the size of the sewer and the working
conditions. The number of men working on different tasks usually bears
the same ratio to the number of masons employed, regardless of the size
of the work. These proportions are shown for different jobs, in Table
66.
