To the Mayor and Common Council;
Under date of March 20th. 1899, the common
council ordered that payment be made
to Mr.. Ralph (The Owosso & Corunna Electric
Co.. Of any sum paid by him Tor for which he
stands liable) in excess of the expense Of one
half of the cost of actual paving and the entire
cost of the reconstruction OF the tracks, basing
the resolution on the opinion of Mr.. Pond that
the city Is not liable for any portion of the eX-
pense of reconstruction of the track. The cOun-
Gil then appointed committee TO ascertain what
amount OF excess as above had been paid by
.l.I fNpx atnh fhxan xunC ~
tric Co. stood liable. Such committee begs leave
to report as follows:
The total amount as represented by state
ment of .. u 9. 4. Co, as entire cost
OF reconstruction of track IS 3 Sl2 81
The amount assessed against said Co. for
pavement of 1898 on the tax roll
for which they stand liable or have
paid is 1867 40
Total S2O79 10
We find (aso from statement of o. &C.
Il. Coz that no excess was paid by
them over and above the entire cost
OF construction, and that this item as
above for construction can be deduct
ed, Sl2 2l
Leaving a balance of sl267 40
which sum is the amount standing on the tax
roll against said o. q @. f.. Co., and which sum
your committee actually has to deal with.
We find that the sum of Sl267.49 assessed
against the o, e. G. Z. Co. is excessive, because
it Includes items which went towards paying for
the construction OF the Track OF Sdlu ~. q ". r..
Co., which construction was paid for by Mr..
Ralph himself and which items were erroneous.

We find the actual cost of street railway paw
