Riassunto

Excerpt from Law and Business of Engineering and Contracting: With Numerous Forms and Blanks for Practical Use

The matter contained in this book is the result or elabora tion of a series of lectures delivered to the engineering stu dents of the University of Washington during several years past. The additional matter that has been added in the shape of forms of contracts, Specifications, and blank business forms will be found of advantage to both the student and the prae ticing engineer, and it is hoped that the entire work will be a valuable addition to the engineer's library.

It is sincerely hoped that the discussion of the relation between the engineer and contractor in Chapter I will result, in many cases, in a better feeling between the engineer and the contractor as they may come together on contract work. The writer has made it a lifelong study to further the good feeling that should exist between them, but must confess to having made so little progress as to despair of seeing a better condi tion of affairs result. Yet the writer is convinced that by continually keeping at it, on the part of those having this matter at heart, much good will eventually come about.

The subject of ordinary forms of contracts is one on which there has been much written, and is a subject on which the engineer should be well posted as to fundamentals. In addi tion to reading the standard works on the subject of contracts, it is very easy for each engineer to get together such standard forms as are valuable and file them in shape for handy refer ence. It is believed that the forms given herein will be found of much use to everyone as a basis for a larger collection.
