the city and the third man to be chosen
by the two men selected rs Just men.
TONED. There was some proyisos In
the proposition. one OF them being that
the men selected should not all be- from
the city OF Crystal Falls.
Another proviso was that stipulations
should be made before commencing the
proceeding that the finding of this
court should be final and that imned-
lately the city should drop it's action

Kimoall shall stop his suit against the
city for damages
The whole matter OF damages. past
and future should be submitted TO this
board and their award must include
the future rights to the land along the
river bank as well as the past damages.
The proposal has been discussed
quite freely about town and opinion
seems to be about equally divided upon
the question Some seem to believe
that the city will get better deal IL
