The following report was received
from the City Attorney:
To the Mayor and Common Council of
the City of Kenosha:
Gentlemen:-At the March, 1898,
term of the Circuit Court of Kenosha
County, an action wherein one Her
mann was plaintiff and the City of Ke-
nosha, defendant, was tried, which re-
suited in judgment in favor of the
plaintiff, requiring the City of Kenosha
to remove certain distractions from
what is known as part of Cedar street
in said city land the result of which
Judgment removed said street two rods
further north than generally consid-
cred to be it's true location, taking
from one Faper two rods of land sup
posed to have been owned by him, and
locating his house upon the street.
Mr.. Faber now proposes to bring an
action against the city, for the purpose
of determining whether or not the
street was correctly located in the
action above mentioned, unless the city
assist in appealing this case to the
Supreme Court.
The cost of an appeal will doubtless
be less than the cost of a suit brought
by Mr.. Faber in case he be successful.
The city, of course, can have no de-
sire to deprive Mr.. Faber of any land
to which he is rightly entitled, and in
my judgment might as we'll try the
question one way as another.
Mr.. Faber agrees to employ the firm
of Quarles, Spence & Quarles at his
own expense to assist the City Attorney
in this annnal in case the citV ia will
