Southdale,- whereby the Gas Company's claim has been reduced to a total of $28,000,
of which the Company will absorb one-quarter, and the County, Village and Southdale
will each absorb one-quarter, Mr, Hydets recommendation was that Village accept
the claim and forward to the County its claim for $7,000, paying the Gas Company
only after Village has received payment from the County,
and a report by the Village Attorney, I&. Ifindhorst advised Council to accept
WZkement of claim for $21,000 contingent upon Village (or Gas Company) receiving
contributions of $7,000 each from County and Southdale toward said settlement,
(this advice being given on premise that Council wishes to settle rather than
take this matter into Court).

that because this last bill is considerably higher than former .ones he wishes to
give Council due notice; that he will refer matter to Village Attorney for
