TO THE CITIZENS OF BELFAST.

Last week the City of Belfast was confronted
with two law suits, the time set for trial beino
Thursday. April 22nd, at 10 A. M. These suits
were brought by attorney James S. Hartman
TOR damages to the properties owned by G.
Frank Hartman and WA. CLARK, which alleged
damages were caused by lowering the grade of
Miller Street, two years ago, Had this work
been done at the time in a proper and more
concliatory spirit, and reasonable respect
shown to the abutters, undoubtedly all trouble
could nave been averted at small expense: if
indeed. any expense at all, for the actual dam
age to the property amounts to practically
nothing. But Lawyer Hartman, under a sta
tute which holds city liable for damage cans.
ed by lowering the grade of street, and per.
haps, at the time. excited by discourteous and
undlplomatic treatment. brought suit against
the City and Mr.. Clark did likewise.
These suits were put over for one reason or
another until this term. Wednesday evening
and again Thursday morning Judge G. M. Ham
son OF Calais accompanied by City Solicitor
Doak examined the property and considered
the City's liability. They also called in Mr..
Hartman, who talked $1,5OO damages. but
finally offered to settle for $3.50 for Hartman
and $50 for Clark.
The Judge then sent for me and went ove-
the prospects carefully. Should the case be
tried and Mr.. Hartman beaten, or the award
negligible, he undoubtedly would appeal to the
Law Court, and should the amount be unrea.
sonable it would unquestonably be the dutv of
the city to likewise take it to the Law Court
In any event, the cost of trial and law ex.
penses would far exceed the offers of settle-
ment. Judge Hanson advised me, as Mayor of
the city, to settle. as there was no chance for
the city to get out of it in any other way near.
ly as cheaply, whether the city won or lost
and to save the city further expense took the
Judges advice and settled the cases.
am fully aware of the bad precedent sstab.
lished in settling such cases after a suit has
been brought. but it would have been worse
had the city been beaten in trial. Whicheye,
way l turned the course was undesirable apG
l decided on the course which would cause the
city least exp ense. The effects of constant
fighting in our city affairs are very apparent
in our depleted treasury and in the amount OF
unsettled matters standing against the city.
In settling these cases l regret that mer
calling the city of Belfast their home felt con.
strained to put the city to unfair and unneces.
sary expense. especially while it. the city, if
struggling under its present burden of debts.
