R. Ilya', who was requested to asks a report on the oontrovsrsy: 'Dual, Florida, Deoaaber 19, 1914. Mr. J. A. Conrad, Mr. 1. 0. Romfh, Ms. J. 1. MoDonald. Special Committee of the pity oounoil. Genii: men: As directed by the city oounoil at its meet on Deoember Srd, I have conferred tith Mr. Godman and the city engineer ooaosrrnn ag Mr. Oodman's olaia for moose rook claimed to haws boon Malted in on llth ®tract due to error in profile. I find from the oily sngineer's statement that there was a change made by him both in the eargrads and :mown of the street from that shorn by the rofils, which ahanas was made attar the first stakes fors set for grading and the done; the &moat of ns+* rook which would asosssarily have to be healed in des to hese changes is - . . S6 ou yds. duo to ohange in grade and 34 ou yds dins to ohms in croft, a total of 99 or. yds. In my letter of October 99 to your oemaittss I estimated the •xosas rook from the stakes .still standing as 150 ou yds. assuming the crown to be as se sbown by the pro1ilo; if only .d' crown was given as stated by the oity 'ngineor, then this estimate should be reduoed to lid on yds. which is an approximate agreement with the 99 ou yds figured abov'.. I fumthsrmors find that the stakes for grading were not sot with an instrument. While this may be fairly approximate at times, still this ssthod ma not be defended and since in One of a lawsuit the engineer Gould not assert that these stakes so set agreed with the final stake*, it would gift* a ooatractor a balls tar a claim for •atr& work or materials. I find therefor* that beyond any grsstion both legally and amity that Mr. Godwin is entitled to payment for 99 ou yds. of rook; firthesmors I would reossnsad that owing to the unosmtaiaty oomasoted with the sett of stakes, s delay is 'ottlemeat, etc. that a farther allosaacs bop mad* bring ithe total to 160 ea, yds.'

Aomtb as it osrtsinly was aet as►rolossa1N, d000rdt to WI report submitted sometime ego, the oity rims 'bemefttted to the extent of bH yards by raising the orowa. Mr. Ilya• failed to state to his letter 'that we rent over ay notes .and profile and found that they agreed. Mere is only a di:for•moe of 00 yards between my estimate of and that of Mr. Ilyoe for Mt. ©edema failed to ooms doom to within 1 inob of the grads I gave bia. There was ad mistake made at all. 0osnoilmas Roafb; Why wee be not allowed for lilt ' engineer Tr•deriok. I was going to allow fox it bet he ammo up Dore and made this claim. Aingineer elms n• sa •.that the profile se takes ao the drommd was as near oerreot as-oorld bss taken. A ohaags was made, whioh the engineer admits was made and the other war date to what I consider was not good.praotio•, by setting the first sakes without as initsuveat, as the engineer would not have any way to say that it woe •beoluteiy oorrelt. 0omnoilaan Romfb: 1 can't see, it the engineer was going to allow this, why it was neoessary to bring the matter tip here. If be obanged the grades and allowed the contraotee to put on sore rook he should. bars allowed it. The street bee been held up and the men can't get bi• money. It is claimed the street is above grade but I doubt that very is.h, most of the others are below. unoilman Conrad: The Chairman asked whether the raise of grade was of any benefit to the oity. At present, it would not be of any particular benefit to the oity or the property owners, it would make the lots somewhat lower, tit the same time it is no real damage to have the street a little higher as we have a way of wearing them dove even in oase we should not need the extra height foxes crossing over the railroad tracks. Mr. Madman palled on me and said that be had disooversd the mistake before be completed the work and stated be would finish it out in that way and I thought if he was going to do that I would not stop him. He said he would expeot. some allowano• for it. There should not have been as much of • fill as the profile showed or the measurements he went by. I didn't know at the time whether it was best to stop him or lot him go ahead. It was about finished when he spoke to me. So fax as making an allaranoe is oasoerned, I dos'tvreslly think the oity would be at any great loss to make him an allowance of 99 or 100 yards. I don't think the extra allowasoe should be spread over the assessment. I think mr. Goodman put on a little more than he at first intended. Councilman Hefty: How aatoh do you think, Mr. Tr•dsriok, Mr. Godson is entitled to? engineer Frederick: He should not be entitled to more than S5 yards. Counoilman wefty: 'bat did you report or recommend that he be allowed, Mr. Llyoot engineer elyoe: I recommended that he be paid for 150 yards; he claims 300. The excess above the 99 yards was to partially repay him for the interest he ban bad to paymin making the settlement, There is no reason why be should not have been paid and I thought that would help his to pay the interest on his money. Counoilman Routh: Is it customary to ohange a plan of that kind to maks it burdensome on the oity instead of the property owners, as the charter dir•otst • Mr. Ilya': I think it is a legal matter but anything added to the cost of the work would be charged to the property, Counoilman Rough; Is it done to any extent? Mr. Ilya•: The engineer oan fix it beforehand but after adopted by oounoil it is not supposed to be changed. Chairman Wert: Did Mr, Oodman discover the mistake before be finished the job and went ahead, knowing be was wrong? Counoilman Conrad: Tee, sir, he told as he had disoover•d the grads was • little wrong, where it should have been a out be made a fill; however, be was going ahead and finish it mut a000rding to stakes set and take chances on getting paid for it, whether the engineer reimbursed him or the city. I didn't stop him as I supposed he ha simply t don't know ast he engineers besaid anything parthe ticularly abr bouta11thyStreet to tbettor hat than I. par ink I talked to tbs city engineer about it and he said be didn't think it would •mount to much bat the contractor put in his bill for a great deal more that he should have. founoilaaa nifty: I understand Mr. Oodasn claims 300 yards, and Mr. Frederick thinks be is only entitled to 65 yards and Mr. Ilyoe raaoamenda 150 yards, Mr. Ilyos stating that he is actually entitled to 99 yards Yoved by 0.
