mend its adoption, the Committee ON

o. o. CULLEN, Chairman.
The following is the report referred to in
Hhe foregoing.
To the Committee on Claims of the Com
mon Council of the City of st. Paul:
GENTLEMEN: Your Committee to whom
twas referred the claim of Daniel Mullen,
flor unsettled estimates on the Fifth ward
sewers, Sibley street sewer, Exchange street
sewer, st. Peter street sewer, and Canada
land Pearl street sewers, report as follows:
The total amount of Mr.. Mullen's claim
kis So, 6S4, 90. Of this amount there is no
sdispute in regard to S1.64S.S1, Mr.. Mullen
fdeclining to take that amount, however,
kUntil the full claim was settled.
After a careful consideration of the claims
land the circumstances under which the
Ework was done, and taking into considera-
sTion the fact that the payment of the esti-
knates was delayed, and the contractor
sShereby obliged to pay a considerable
Iamount for interest on money used in the
prosecution of the work, your committee
would recommend that MI. Mullen be paid
Ethe cost of engineering and inspection,
Amounting to S675. Is, which was deducted
from his final estimate; also sundry items
flor extra work, as per statement. amounting
Ito sos, which being added to the
81, 64S. 81, gives for the total amount of the
claim that we would recommend to be
paid, 50, 42S. SO. We do not recommend the
balance of the claim, S255.66, as the work
WAS done by the street force, and the city
was actually put to that expense. We en-
CLOSE detail statement of the claim and an
EtemiZed account of the amount allowed
Respectfully submitted.

,Sansome Bros Claim
Committee referred said claim to the Cor
poration Attorney for his advice thereon,
and submit his report, which the committee
recommend be adopted. The following is
the report of the Corporation Attorney re-
ferred to:
TO the Committee on Claims and Accounts:
GENTLEMEN: In regard to the claim of
Sansome Bros. which you referred to this
department for examination, l have had the
matter inquired into more fully, and have
taken additional testimony which is here
with submitted. While it is one of those
close cases and almost questionable as to the
liability of the city, yet perhaps it would
be better to settle the claim, and if Sansome
Bros will accept $3.50 in 'ull satisfaction
pf said claim, I advise it's payment. Re-
spectfully, W. P. MURRAY,
Corporation Attorney.

Also,
nv. A. Nichols Claim
Committee referred said claim to the Cor
poration Attorney, whose report in the
matter is herewith transmitted, and which
report committee recommend be adopted.
The following is the report of the Corpora
ton Attorney in the matter:
TO the Committee on Claims:
GENTLEMEN: herewith return the pc
Hition of W. A. Nichols asking for compen-
i6ation for injuries to horse and wagon and
personal injuries to himself on the 18th OF
November, 1884, by reason, as was claimed,
of having fallen into an open sewer that
had been left without proper guards and
lights.
There appears to be great discrepancy
ln the evidence touching this claim between
Mr. Nichols and John w. Doherty, the
sewer contractor, and as the sewer con-
tractor is liable, if Mr.. Nichols version OF
the affair is correct, prefer that Nichols
should bring his action to determine the
matter and would therefore recommend
chat the claim be adversely reported. Re-
specially, w. P. MURRAY,
Corporation Attorney.
