Masters Report in Case of Cosgrove
Against MerZ.
Court Thinks There Should BE Allowance
for Repairs ana Improvement.

The following opinion was handed down
by tho Appellate Court today in the case
OF Ellen Cosgrovc by guardian vs. John
c. Merz ct al. Per curiam. IL was pro-
yided in the decree that complainants
should have leave To redeem tho property
purchased by the respondent Elizabeth
Rohrich, on payment To her OF tie sum
paid for the purchase thereof by Ernest
Nachtrieb This was based on the lind
ing that that amount was paid In satis-
faction OF Judgment and charges against
Ellen Cosgrove amounting 10 SfJo which
would haa been claims against her estate,
and hence, as the estate has received
benefit TO that extent they were a proper
subject for REIN bursementto the pun c laser.
AS the master has allowed only Sl9.W OF
this sum, we think the respondent is en-
titled TO an allowance OF the balance VIZ
S202 40.
The master has disallowed the claims OF
the resondent Rohrich for reimbursement
for tho raising ef the house ana repairs
upon it, on the ground that. they were not
necessary for the preservation or, tho
property. A majority OF the court is Oh
the opinion that his construction OF the
decree, in thus limiting the right to TO
imbursement 10 compensation only FOR
such improvements and repairs as were
necessary TO preserve the property, Is too
strict, and that no should have allowed
also such sums as were reasonably cX-
pended upon it, considering its situation
and condition and which have materially
enhanced its value. The evidence shows
tnat &c had become not only desirable,
but reasonably necessary TO raise the
house, in consequence of the filling of
the adjacent lots, and she assessment
for taxos put in evidence show that since
the raising and repair of the house it's
valuation has been increased 5000 A
majority of the court is therefore, of the
opinion that there should be allowed To the
respondent the sum Of $3.50 on account OF
the raising and repair Of the house,
The exceptions are sustained to the ex.
tent herein set forth, and the report OF
the master modified accordingly.
