The cost of the above building wili hbe about â€" $6,250. This amount | is as near as I can estimate, without Planus. Gentlemen.â€"As per instructions, 1 have made an estimate as to the.tost of a market building 140 ft x 100 ft. one storey in height, with a 10 ft. high basement, the basement walls to be of stone, and the superstructure of brick, 12 ft. in heicht. it was decided to submiÂ¥ â€" two bylaws at New Year‘s, Om# to raise the sum of $8,000â€" for the crection of a new market building and also one to raise an amount; o cover purâ€" chase of the Gravel Pit recemily takâ€" en owr by the town, ncear the Sewer Farm. A special meeting of the counâ€" cil is to be held on Wednesday to conâ€" sider‘ these byâ€"laws. The following letter was received by Engineer Moog« in submitting an estinnite on the cost of the _ new market puilding:â€" > Mr. W. M. Cram, solicitor for Mr. Justice Hoffman wrote in reply to a letter from the Council asking him to discontinue excavating on â€" land adjacentâ€" to the stand pipe, statinz that Mr. Hofman would continue to do so, as he thought it well within his rights. The matter will be left to the Sewer Commussion for consiâ€" deration. To the Mayor and l‘oun;'ll, Will you please bring this to the attention of the Council at once and let me know whether they are pre pared to make reasonable compensaâ€" tion to Mr. Fischer as claimed, with, out the necessity of further action. : Yours truly, * 7h: Mayor thought that the cdh tractor who built the sewér skould bear the cost of damages. The comâ€" munication was referred to the Sewei Commission â€" for â€" settlement. â€" Mr. Graylill said that Foundry St. was in a deplorable condition and thought refairs _ to same should be attended to immediately. The treatment of the injured horse, and the necessity of procuring _ anâ€" other to take its place while unfit to be driven, bas thrown upon Mr. Fischer a necessary outlay of _ over $40, and his horse is still and will always be depreciated in value in consequence of the injury, Mr. Fisâ€" cher, therefore, instructs me to claim from the town the sum of $60.00, as damages for the injuries to the borse and for expenses as mentioned. In driving along Foundry street, at the time referred to, it became necessary for Mr. Fischer‘s driver to drive upon a part of © the street where there Mad been a recent excaâ€" vation for the purpose of laying sewer or water pipes, but which had apparently been filled in and â€" made ready for traffic. When the horse was driven upon the spot in question, it was found that through defective fillâ€" ing the earth had sunk away beâ€" neath, and the surface, of course, gave way as soon as the horse stepâ€" ped dpon it, throwing him into the excavation, with the result that he was seriously injured by the couseâ€" quent strain. F. 8. Kumpf, Esq, Town Clerk, _ Waterloo, Ont. Dear Sit.â€"Mr. Jobn Fischer has instructed me to hand to you, to be placed before the Town Council, his claim for damages for injury to his horse late in October last. The Mayor suggested that the scates Town of Waterloo Byâ€"laws to be Submitted Yours â€" respectfully Will Continue Excavating New Market Building Insurance Increased Other Business CHAS.
