the following agreement and stipula-
ton:
To the Hon. Chairman and Members OF
the County Board Of KenoshG
County, Wisconsin
Pursuant to our promise this morn
ing, we herewith submit the following ::
Owing to the imperfections in GER
tain tile drainage for highway purposes
in and along what is known as the
Sheridan Road, in the town of Pleas
ant Prairie, Kenosha County, W1scon-
sin, an action is now pending in the
Municipal Court of said county where
in the County of Kenosha is plaintiff
and Michael G. Mcclellan, highway
commissioner in charge of said work in
the fall of 1913, is defendant, wherein
the county claims damages of said Nc
Geehan in the sum of $257.91.
The original plan for said thing con-
templated the placing OF catch basin
at the west end of what is known as
South Park Ave. and tilins from thence
north to certain point in said road,
also from thence south to a certain
point in said road, and as and for an
outlet east along the south end OF said
Park Avenue to at or about the right
of-way of the Chicago and Northwest
ern Railway Company.
That after a part OF said work had
been completed a change was made in
the contract whereby the tiling was to
extend from said catch basin north as
before, and from thence south by way
of outlet to what is known as Zehren's
Creek. This change the highway COM
missioner then in charge claims was
made with the approval of the State
Highway Commission and was much
superior to and more practical than the
original plan.
One Peder Frandsen did the work
under contract on the line of the
changed plan.
1t was found after F'randsen had
finished the work and had been paid
that it was imperfect and did not fur
nish the drainage required, whereupon
Mr.. Mcclellan undertook to correct
the defects. and, in fact, did relay sui
ficient title therefor SO Iar as that por-
ton of the thing south of said catch
basin was concerned, at his own ex-
pense.
He was about to do the same with
reference to that portion lying north of
said catch basin so that there might
be complete drainage from the north
end of the thing to Zehren's Creek.
Before any relaying of the tile north
of the catch basin was done the State
Highway Commission, the county high
ways commissioners superiors, direct
