C, Kleine versus the City, being No. 17,206 Law, asking $20,000; Lina Kleine versus the City, No. 17,207 Law, asking $500, and Guisseppi Fabrinni versus the City, being No. 17,208 Law, asking $20,000 all of said actions being brought to recover dam- ages for injuries sustained by the re- spective parties in an accident that occurred on West Locust Street, on the 14th day of November, 1911, as a result of a carriage in which the plaintiffs were riding being over- turned by coming in contact with a pile of earth and rocks in the high- way, and not protected by the proper signal lights. The obstruction was permitted to remain in this condition by the contractor, T. J Hassett, who was at the time constructing a sani- tary sewer upon and along said street. The attorneys representing the plaintiffs in said actions have offered to receive in full settlement of all of said actions the sum of twelve hun- dred and fifty dollars ($1250). That the attorney representing the con- tractor, Hassett, who was notified by the City to appear and defend in said actions, has agreed to a settlement upon that basis, and further agrees to contribute the sum of $750 to- wards the payment of such sum, pro- vided the City will pay the remain- ing five hundred dollars thereof. There is one other action pending in the District Court arising out of the same accident, which action is now pending upon a motion for a new trial, the case having been tried, and the verdict being rendered in fa- vor of the City, being the case of George W. Raine versus the City. Your committee would therefore recommend that the three cases first above mentioned be settled for the sum of twelve hundred and fifty dol- lars, and further recommend that the City pay towards such settlement the sum of five hundred dollars. such sum, however, to be paid in the man- ner hereinafter suggested. The City is now owing said T. J. Hassett several thousand dollars for work performed by him under con- tract, and we recommend that the amount of the settlement above pro - vided for be paid out of the sum due said Hassett, and after deducting such sum of $1250, that the balance then remaining due said Hassett upon his contract for the sewer on West Lo- cust Street and Mt. Pleasant Avenue be then paid to him, and after the final disposition of the case of George W. Raine versus the City, if finally disposed of without further expense to the City, that City the pay to said Hassett the sum of five hundred dol- lars, the amount to be contributed by the City towards the settlement above provided for, it being understood that we only recommend that the City contribute the sum of $500 towards the settlement of the four cases here - inbefore mentioned, and we further recommend that a warrant in the sum of $1250 be ordered drawn in fa- vor of the Mayor to cover such set- tlement, said warrant to be ordered drawn on the funds in the hands of the City owing and due said T. J. Hassett and a further warrant be or- dered drawn in favor of T. J. Hassett for such sum as may be found due him under said contract for said sewer on West Locust Street and Mt. Pleasant Avenue, after deducting said sum of twelve hundred and fifty dol- lars. Respectfully submitted, JAS. SAUL, WM. P. ANDRESEN, JOHN HEIM, Committee on Claims. GEO. T. LYON, City Attorney. Ald.
