The following report was presented by the

To the Hon. Mayor and Common Council:
The special committee to whom was re.

City Cemetery, would respectfully report,
that they have examined the work done by
Mr. 8. Y. Brande under his contract with the
City, and find that Mr.. Brande has made a
map and plot OF the consolidated Cemetery
grounds, dividing the same into four natural
subdivisions, ready for execution by the
Mayor and Clerk that he has prepared two
cloth maps copies OF the same on rollers for
the use of the Sexton and Clerk that he has
furnished headings suitable for the books
required, and pr divided by the City for Gem
etery record that he has made and rendered
to the Committee for the City warrantee
deed of the four and one fifth acres of ground
contracted for, with abstract of title to same
and also has rendered Quit claim deed from
VIM. s. Strong and wife of all that strip of
land mentioned and described in his said
contract, and has thus fulfilled the terms of
the contract on his part. Such conveyance
beng made without reservation.
They further find that Mr.. Brande has spent
considerable time and labor In the Cemetery

the walks and parks In the same, outside of
Inc lanuS GulDTdCGU III HIS contract; GlaG ne

the lots conveyed by the town of Southport
the City OF KenOsha and Josiah Bond, the
names being marked thereon that he has
in addition entered the numbers of all the
Blocks in the Cemetery in the record, and
the names of the several granters and gran
tees Of each lot and block has been inserted
thereon opposite to such lot or block so far
as known, aud that he has corrected the err

want Of good survey and plot of the Whip
pie purchase making new deeds in place of
the erroneous ones, and the committee be-
lleve that he has spared no pains or care in
getting the same as correct as possible. Mr..
Brande has also agreed to ornament Park
and build the bricge mentioned in his con-
tract as soon as spring opens, and has OBJ
tanned from Mr.. W. S. Stroug concession of
but only upon the condition that he shall
assure to Mr.. Strsng two blocks of land in
the cemetery ground conveyed by him to the
city. Your committee therefore, in consider
alton of the facts; the extra amount of time
and labor expended by Mr.. Brande in the
premises, and which he was under no obliga-
lions to dom fulfillment of his contract, re-
commend that one block in addition to those
reserved by him in his original contract be
decided to him to enable him to keep his agree
ment with Mr.. Strong and in full for all eX-
ira services above recited.
Mr.. Brande has also prepared an ordinance
for the government of the Cemetery, which
we herewith present to the Council and re-
commend its adoption.
The committee also recommend the accept
ance of the Warrantee Deed of s. Y. Brande
and wife, and the Quit Claim Deed of w, S.
Strong. They also ask authority to deliver
the new deeds to the owners OF lots on the
Whlpple purchase who have heretofore re-
celved erroneous deeGs, and to deliver deeds
in due form to 0. s. Head, S. Y Brande and
VIM. s. Strong, of the lots and blocks select
ed by them under the reservations contained
in their several contracts, and upon the adoD-
tion OF this report, and that an appropriation
be made to Mr.. Brande for the amount of the
purchase OF cemetery grounds of him or that
If in the opinion Of the Conncil lin view of
the state of the City Treasury they should
desire time on portion of the purchase
money, that the Clerk be directed to make
out and deliver to the committee the necess-
airy scrip therefor in order that they may
pay over the sum to Mr.. Brande in fuifillment
of the contract on the part of the City with
him. All of which is respectfully submitted
