CITY OF MELROSE
SEWER DIVISION.
Construction.
No sewers are built except by orders of the Board of Aldermen.
In 1903 these orders were: *
Ferdinand street, Franklin street to summit Order No. 2192 Union street, Tremont street to angle
Highland avenue, Main street to Hesseltine avenue
Burrell street, Elm street to summit 16 6
Richardson road, Henry avenue to summit 66 1873
The sewer in Richardson road was ordered in 1902 and' not constructed until 1903, as explained in my last report.
Order No. 2192 for the first four sewers, as originally passed, was decided to be defective so far as it related to the taking of rights in private ways, and was re-enacted on December 21, 1903; at this date cold weather had set in and they were- not constructed, but will be early the coming season.
For cost in detail of all sewers constructed, reference is made to Table No. 5.
All labor has been done by the employees of the depart- ment, and no contracts made except for the purchase of stock, which was by bids, either solicited or advertised for, and were as follows:

ALLEN VS. INHABITANTS OF MELROSE.
This was an action of contract brought by F. L. Allen of Worcester, to recover additional compensation on account of alleged changes in the plan of sewers constructed by him under a contract dated April 23, 1894.
Before bringing suit, Mr. Allen made a claim upon the Board of Sewer Commissioners and was given a hearing by them on March 3, 1896, which was continued from time to time until December 11, 1896, at which time they tendered him, as an offer of compromise, $3,070.97. This amount covered the balance due him as per the Engineer's final estimate and several minor charges for extra work.
Mr. Allen stated that he would not consider the offer of the Commissioners, or any offer of less than $10,000, nor would he consider settling for the last named sum until he conferred with his lawyer. As this amount was greater
66
CITY OF MELROSE
than the Sewer Commissioners felt justified in settling for, the matter was dropped and suit brought as above.
The aggregate of all items claimed in the plaintiff's dec- laration, in round numbers, was $30,000. After consulta- tion with Mr. Washburn, the Town Counsel, the Sewer Com- missioners authorized him to employ an associate, and George L. Mayberry of Waltham was selected.
This suit was brought in the Superior Court holden in Worcester County, and Willis E. Sibley, Esq. was appointed as Auditor to hear the evidence and report back to the Court his finding in the case.
This was a complicated case, and the plaintiff produced numerous witnesses; and to meet the testimony offered, the city had to employ experts, take borings, and submit samples of the materials encountered, etc. The case occu- pied fifteen days of actual trial before the Auditor, and the court, on a hearing before it on the Auditor's report, con- firmed said report and found for the plaintiff in the sum of $9,236.36. The city filed exceptions based on several points, and took the case to the Supreme Judicial Court for the Commonwealth; and the case was argued before said Court, with the result that the finding was reduced to $4,696. ,
This sum was found to be due as of the 13th day of June, 1901, and included interest up to that time; interest which accrued subsequently up to the date of payment, with tax- able costs added, increased said sum finally found to be due to $5,565.38, which sum was paid to Allen in final settlement.
