Your committee to whom was referred the mat
ter of VIM. Il. Mckenzie, in regard to the house
number expense, would respectfully report that
| Mr. Mckenzie called on Mr. Harris about the LIST
| of December last, on Saturday, when said Har-
| ris was quite busy paying of his hands, request
| ing him to give him receipt and date same back
| 70 Sept 1sG 1890 claiming that he was sure he
had paid for numbering the houses. Mr.. Harris
gave him the required receipt, not knowing how
Ing for what purpose he wanted same, and dated
10 as requested. MIR. Harris, however, claims
that Mr.. Mckenzie paid him for numbering the
Mason street houses, but two or three weeks later
ne numbered house for him on River street and
he is of the opinion that he never saw Mr. Nc
KenZie after that to collect for same, and cOnse-
quently gave said numbering In to the city as I'M
paid, which was accordingly assessed to the prop
erty to the amount of sOcents.

respectfully report that they have examined the
machinery and made Inquiries regarding them.
Mr. Fitch claims the machinery and boilers worth
$780, admits that there are two mortgages COW
ering said machinery and boilers of $4,000 each.
The balance of interest In said plant seems to be
all that Fitch q Son financially possess, with the
exception of small amount of manufactured
stock, which Is so limited that 1t Is hardly worth
mentioning. We further find their reputation for
honesty, Integrity and square dealing is good.
Mr.. ID. NJ. Estey Is willing to give bond that the
proposed building shall be built and completed
w a. aad IN
furnish bonds with two good sureties for the faith
full performance of their agreement; will name
We further find that the city of Corunna in con-
junction with the railroad company, on whose
land the building Is located, have served them
with legal notice to vacate the building and
grounds; for what cause we cannot positively as
certain, but we are informed the reason Is that
Fitch & Son have not operated their plant salts
employed no help for the last six months. We
respectfully submit this report for your consider
alton. ). LAMFROM,
