2. It would
put the
against peculation
Neither could a contract the mode of contract the contract made be depended
upon as shutting the door absolutely against
peculation. It In any building undertaking it is
not very common rather rare I believe than otherwise
for the first original contract to be adhered to without any
variation: as the building advances, occasions for
making additions or alterations present themselves:
thus if for the purpose of as far as these alterations extend the
proprietor, if no fresh contract is made, is then at the
mercy of the builder: and in the making of such
fresh contract, the builder will be apt to take his advantage
in proportion to the degree in which he supposes the proprietor
to have the alteration at heart. A building of so new
a kind must seems more particularly expand <add>apt to able to
afford occasion for such changes.</add>
Your objection against allowing an per cent
unlimited per centage to the architect on the amount
of the expenditure I feel in its full force: it is giving
a premium on profusion. Would not the objection To take away
be removed by making the architect pay a limited the temptation, <add>why not fix the recompense whatever be the expenditure</add>
sum for the whole? Suppose the sum allotted £ ,
000: so much per cent 5 Upon this sum, 5 per cent for example (£500)
you shall have at any rate but if should the expenditure
exceed that sum you shall have no more:
