REPORT OF THE CITY SOLICITOR.
A bill in equity by a patentee of a process of laying cement pavement in sections, to compel an account, &c., for infringing said patentee's patent. The alleged infringement relates to work done by Mr. A. B. Lovell, around the High School building and the Soldiers' Monument, and in the Police Station. Evidence of the plaintiff has been taken during the year.
There is also on file in the office of the County Commissioners an application by the Washburn & Moen M'f'g Co. for damages occasioned by taking Mill Brook for sewage purposes. No notice has ever been taken out upon this petition.
There have been, including the cases tried in March last for pumping water from Tatnuck Brook, twenty-eight verdicts against the City, and twenty verdicts in favor of the City. There have also been several cases non-suited which were brought against the City.
There have been some cases settled, after suit brought, but the exact number I am unable to state.
Respectfully submitted.
