COOK COUNTY COUNCIL. TX pursuance of instructions the subjoined report is published for general information. JOHN WARREN, County Clerk. August 15th, 1881. To the Chairman. Cook County Council. Slß,—As regards Mr. A. Y. Ross’ charges against your Council, respecting the gravelling of the Makaraka-Ormond Road, I beg to state that I have examined Mr. Ros's’ letters and the plan and specification of the Road. Mr. Ross states that according to the specification 34| or, at least, 31 cubic yards of gravel ought to have been put on each chain of Road, The specification provides that the gravel shall be one foot deep in centre, and spread to a width of 16 feet, in such a manner as may be approved by the Engineer, no quantity per chain being mentioned. However, the schedule of quantitiet which was supplied to contractors when tendering, gives the total quantity of gravel as 6,474 cubic yards to be put on 332 chains of road, that is about 191 cubic yards per chain. Mr. Ross’ statement, therefore, appears to me to be incorrect, and I cannot understand upon what data it is founded. I am, Sir, Your obedient Servant, 380 R. REYNOLDS.
