During the year the case of Catherine Thompson has been dis- missed and a settlement of the land damage case has been arrived at, though not yet carried into effect.
The two cases of Melrose vs. Coy and Melrose vs. Sylvester have been carried to judgment in favor of the city and collections made.
In addition to the foregoing, the work of this department has consisted of attendance at hearings before legislative committees and the public service commission, examination of land titles, supervision of the preparation of papers, etc., in connection with the collection of taxes and assessments, drawing ordinances, contracts and other papers, and the usual amount of consultation and rendering of opinion in con- nection with the general conduct of the city's business.
Respectfully,, ARTHUR S. DAVIS, Solicitor.
