To the Honorable the Common Council:
Gentlemen--Your Committee on Streets
beg leave to report that we are In re-
ceipt OF a communication from the Cor
poratfon Counsel In relation to sidewalk
laid alongside OF property situate on the
corner or Parker and Jefferson avenues
and are Informed by the Corporation
Counsel that In the year 1906 a sidewalk
was built upon the Parker avenue side
OF the lot. which said lot belongs to the
Hon. Judge Rohnert of the Wayne Cir
cult Courts: that initial proceedings with
respect to the building OF this walk were
faulty and there was grave question as
the assessment: that the matter was at
that time referred TO a Committee of
the Common Council and an attempt was
made to reach an adjustment, but none
was arrived at; that subsequently the
assessment for the building OF this side
walk not being paid the property was
advertised for sale and petitioner through
hts attorney. James Swan, filed a bill in
chancery, restraining the City from SELL
Ing the land: that mt that time the Cor
poration Counsers ONCE took up the
question OF adjusting the difference be-
tween petitioner and the City: that some
portions OF the walk had not turned out
well and the Judge refused to partici-
pate In any negotiations for settlement
until the sidewalk had been put In first
Public Works were consulted at that
time about II and IL appeared to them
that the only way TO put IL In shape was
to tear II up and rebuild Il: that said
Department then advertised I'm a regular
way, tore UP the old sidewalk and built
n new one. This said Department did
without consulting with the Judge or
securing his consent and after some
further negotiations to settle the whole
controversy, the Judge has forwarded
10 MIR. Hally a check for 5000. which
settlement Is satisfactory TO the Com
missioner OF Public Works according To
communication appended to Corpora ton
Counseis letter and your Committee
therefore recommend that said PROPOSE :
ton OF settlement be accepted and that
the following resolution be adopted.
Respectfully submitted
