To the President Board of Aldermen
and the President House Delegates
We your committe appointed to investigate
the matter of the dismissal of the suit of
the City vs. The Columbia and Puget Sound
Rail Road Co.
Beg leave to submit the following as our report.
After careful consideration of all facts that
we have had before us regarding the
dismissal of the suit of the "City vs.
The Columbia and Puget Sound Rail Road Co"
We find that this suit has been reinstated
by our corporation counsel and is before
the court ready for trial and is now
on the same basis as it was before it
was dismissed.
Taking these facts into consideration we
do not think it would be desirable for
this committee to further investigate the
matters which have been placed before
them as this question of legal rights
claimed by the Rail Road Co will
soon be decided in the courts.
We do wish to say that as to any
question of corruption which have
been intimated against the corporation counsel
of this City, we are satisfied that he
acted in good faith, and did what he
considered for the best interest of the City
