The Hon. Committee on Claims:

Gentlemen:

The statements made in the annexed petition of Lyman E. Knapp I find to be true. I think it proper that the first part of the petition, to wit that the Treasurer had authorized to apply $708.19 of the $826.74 excess heretofore paid, to the benefit of the twenty one lots within the district, should by ordinance reciting all the facts, be granted.

The second half of the petition, that relating to the rebate of the remaining $118.75, I do not think can be granted until all warrants on the street are paid.

Respectfully yours, R. H. Thomson City Engr
