The Committee on Claims had under con-
side,ation the petition of John Butler for an
allowance Of 81 500 Tor extra expenses caused
by the gas pipe obstructing the construction
of the Seventh street sewer.
On investigation. the committee find that
the contract made with said Butler specially
guards against any. such Claims and there
fore your committee caunot allow the same.
It appeared, however, that there are some
circumstances connected with the matter
which induce the committee to recommend
that the petition be referred to the City Attor-

10 grade Cherry street at his own cost, your
Committee regret to say that the history of
having streets graded for nothing is not a
pleasant one to the city. Your COMMITTEE
cannot recall one case where the offer was ever
carried ont in good faith. Propositions of
his kind mean the opening up Of stone quar-
-ies and the raising OF public streets for pri-
vate benefit, and IN the end the street will have
10 be graded at two or three times the cost
