 The Subscribers met agreeably to adjournment: to confer on 
 the complaint of Wm. Thorpe, Simon Barthe & Wm. Allcock, 
 who agreeably to the LaAv in that case made & provided, think 
 themselves injured, or likely to be injured in their improvements 
 by the Grade Established on Cove Street; by the Commission- 
 ers — the subscribers having been Sworn faithfully & honestly 
 to determine what damages Wm. Thorpe, S Barthe & Wm. 
 Allcock has or will sustain from the Grade affixed by the Com- 
 missioners & if any, then impartially without favor or affection 
 equitably to assess the same on the property on said Street bene- 
 fited. 
 
 After taking the premises into Consideration, the subscribers 
 are of opinion — That at present the Complainants have not 
 sustained any injury ; there being no improvements of any knid 
 erected on the property belonging to the Complainants. But 
 what injury the Complainants agreeably to the words of the 
 Law "are likely to sustain," the Subscribers have it not in their 
 power to asscertaiii. — The Subscribers are nevertheless of opin- 
 ion, that by the Grade as Established, the Complainants will 
 hereafter be injured ; yet the Subscribers cannot point out what 
 property on Cove Street is benefited by the Grade Established; 
 on which an assessment should be made.

 fears as to the correctness of your Grade as far as you are about 
 to Repave but shall you stop your work at any point between 
 the Bridge and Cove Street and thereby cause an impediment or 
 obstruction in the free course of the water running down to the 
 culvert it may become necessary to remove that obstruction 
 which I hope you will consider must be done without any ex-
