OF G. F. O. Mason ct al. for refund OF
moneys spent for construction OF GER
tain sidewalks on Boulevard. respect
fully report that we have had both OF
said matters under consideration and
beg leave to submit the following re-
port towit
Repetition of w. w, Cartwright for
cancellation of paving assessment /.
we beg to state that the assessment
I'm question IL levied against the rear
ten feet OF lot situated on the r. g.. OF
Frederick street. east OF Russell street |;
that petitioner claims that said ten
feet is used for alley purposes. and
should therefore not be assessed. Your
Committee find that said ten-foot strip
never been decided to the City, and the
title thereof remaining in the abutting
owners, there was nothing else to be
done except to assess the abutting
owner therefor.
Repetition OF c. +. o. Mason ct al,
we find that petitioners are the own
ers of certain property situated on
West Grand Boulevard. and they are
assessment paid by them Upon sub
hitting the matter to the Corporation
Counsel We are by him Informed that
the sidewalks were built under n mis-
take In the law. which mistake was
INDUCED in by the Commit ssh Toner Of
Parks and Boulevards as we'll as by
petitioners: that petitioners construct
ed said walks under the impression
that 1t was their duty to build them
and the Commissioner was also under
the same impression: that under such
conditions In his opinion. petitioners
arc not legally entitled to have their
claim paid out OF the public treasury
simply because IT has recently been
determined by the supreme court that
II is the duty OF the City to construct
sidewalks in front OF private property
In this section OF the Boulevard In
view OF this opinion, which also calls
attention to the denial Of the petition
OF Geo. T.. Hutton. who hled simila
claim, we recommend that the prayers
OF each of aforesaid petitioners be
denied.
Respectfully submitted.
