REPORTS OF COMMITTEES.
From the inmitl On County and
Public Roads:
10 the Honorable the Director-at-Large
and members of the Board of Chosen
Freeholders of Hudson County:
GENTLEMEN; Your Committee on Pub
lie and County Roads. TO whom were
| referred the communication of Mich
ael Mullery, in reference to extra
work and filling of wall on Paterson
Plank Road. would respectfully report
that they have carefully KAN ned the
claims OF Mr.. Mullery, resented to this
Board. would beg leave to report as fol
lows:
We find his claim for loving pipe for
the sum of 81. 90 to be correct as per con-
tract.
Your committee, in conjunction with
the architect, examined the extra stone
work on wall claimed to be built by Mr..
Mullery, and we find that Mr.. Mullery
had no authority for building said extra
work on wall.
We therefore, recommend that he be
allowed the sum of thirty cents per yard
for filling said foundation, saii thirty
cents is a fair and just price for said work.
His claim for 3,2il loads Of earth for fill
lug we nave to 2,24l loads OF
earth, for the following reason: The earth
was carried from December l to 90, inclus-
i've, or seventeen working days, during
which time three horses were employed
carting said earth. We ave carefully
examined and tind it Improbable for a
horse to cart more Than 43 loads per day.
We therefore allow him II: the rate or a
fraction over 40 loads of earth carried by
each horse aud curt per day for the time
stated in his bill or claim.
Your Committee would therefore re-
commend that. u warrant be ordered
drawn in favor Of Michael Mullery for
The following named sums, viz:
Is feet Of plpe at 81. so per foot. S27 90
1911 yards of stone or earth filing
at SOC. per yard ......,........... 81 80
2241 loads OF earth filling at 49,.
per load. ....... ....... 49,. -. 1886 IL
Making a total OF .......... 1890 AZ
Said warrant to be in lieu of all claims
presented to this Board by Mr.. Muliery
for work on wall on Paterson Plank road,
aud said warrant is in payment only for
the heretofore named work. when Mr..
Mullery signs a receipt i'll full for all de-
mands against this Board to date.
