We, the undersigned committee ap.
pointed by your honorable board to
grade the Odessa Narrows beg leave tc
report: In July we let the contract
to Mr.. H. A. Walcott to grade the
same at Is cents per yard, grade to be
30 feet on top with sloping sides.
We received notice Nov. 22nd to in
spect the same. We found it i'm.
possible to measure the cut as nc
grade stakes had been set, so We
measured the grade which is about Sc
feet at the bottom and II feet on top,
225 feet in length with an average
height of 10 feet. The above
measurement we consider very liberia
in favor of Mr.. Walcott. The
amount of dirt in fill we figure at 8,
600 yards which according to ou1
agreement would entitle Mr.. Walcot,
to $40. 90 by measuring the grade in
stead of the cut. We consider tn,
work we'll done, according to agree
ment with the exception of width o
grade.
All of which is respectfully sub.
mitted.
