To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
It seems to be almost inconceivable that shrewd business men are still willing to spend their time, all going over the same ground, figuring against each other on quantities, know- ing all the time that they are all, save one (and sometimes even 6 that one), simply wasting their time. By the adoption of some sensible system, all this quantity taking could be done by one competent person. The great difference we find in bids arises, in my opinion, not so much in tfre prices or money values place...d against the quantities, as it does from errors in the quantities themselves, the accurate preparation of which calls for special training and continuous concentration of mind, which the busy contractor of today can seldom find time to acquire. Now we will investigate a bill of quantities, such as we are considering. What is it? and how is it used? First of all, it is a document, handed free of expense to each bidder, lithographed or similarly duplicated, in order that all bidders' copies may be exactly alike.
