mistake he omitted to charge the coun-
ty for his expenses necessarily in
CURED for meals while employed on
the county's work, amounting TO $751;
so. an itemized statement therefor
being hereto annexed.
The difference between S215.30 and
$4,000 is .s135.30.
In case Mr.. Mcclellan was credited
with these items it would stand as fol-
lows: Livery, $4,000; meals, $3.50 !;
on new tile resulting from
the orders of the State Highway Com
mission, S135.30; making a total of
S252.S0. This would leave a balance
of SOIL
A slight examination of the pay roll
above referred to will show that the
relaying of tile cost but 1920, which
Mr.. Mcclellan claims would have
made perfect drain following the
changed plan, from, which it win be
seen that if he is correct he is very
much overcharged in the claim made
by the county.
The catch basin, the highway COM
missioner in charge at the time says,
in doing the work directed by the
State Highway Commission through
day labor, was not lowered; that the
only change made in the catch basin
was to change the point of escape as
to the south line of tile by lowering it.
1t will be seen that the contractor
above named was really in fault in not
laying the tile originally as required
by the plans and specifications.
The county highway commissioner
in charge Of the work on said road at
the time in question begs leave to say
that all of his acts in connection there
with were done in the very best of
faith and without any gain whatever
to him personally and all with the APP
prevail of his superiors.
Notwithstanding the above, and for
the purpose of settlement and in order
to avoid litigation, Mr.. Mcclellan of
ferS to stand one-half of the bill de-
handed by the county, to-wit: the sum
of $12S.95.
We desire to say to the Board that
I it is not practicable for us to set out
here all of the details connected with
this controversy, but we shall be
pleased at any time to give the Board,
or any committee. by the Board for
the purpose of investigating this mat
/ ter, any further information which
they desire, in case we can.
Respectfully submitted,
