And whereas, the said proposition has been declined by said claimant, H. V. Baylis, partly on the ground that other and extra personal expenses were incurred by him, which were not included in his bill rendered, but which are justly and reasonably due and owing to him by said Town in the matter relating to resisting the laying out and open- ing said Avenue, therefore
Resolved, That this Board agrees to offer and hereby does offer to said Baylis, the sum of one hundred and fifty dollars in full, for all his claims arising out of the matter of said Avenue, to be paid to him, on his executing a receipt and release in full to the Town of Huntington, in the above matter, including the amount of his service bill of fifteen dollars in the above amount.
