The Municipal officers visited the prem
Uses of d. W. Dyer Monday and heard his
testimony in regard to damages caused to
his property by raising the grade of Front
street. When the sewer was laid in Front
street in 1901 it was found that in order to
give the necessary fall at the outlet the pipe
would come too near the surface in the hol-
low at Mr.. Dyer's property and the grade
of the street there was raised two feet. Mr.
Over claims that he is now unable to get
to or from his property with teams except
in one place, and asks for $500 damages.
The Municipal officers will give their de-
cision at the next regular meeting.
