Lavis, Fred. Railroad location, surveys and estimates. *$3. Clark, M. C.
6–34656.
A work that combines detailed instruction on modern American methods of location with data on the estimating of quantities and unit prices.
“Despite the reviewer’s criticism of some of the author’s methods, yet he quite agrees with the author that the method of location advocated by him is most thorough and up-to-date, and the best practice. The book is comprehensive, is an excellent epitome of good modern practice, and well adapted to the purposes for which it was designed.” M. P. Paret.

“After the teacher has given us what he can out of his study-room, then the young engineer will turn to such books as this one, gaining much information and getting by proxy valuable experience which, without such a book, would cost him much time and pains to acquire. The railroad engineers will appreciate this book and feel thankful to its author.” Willard Beahan.
