Chairman Nisbett stated that he had called the meeting in order to have the J. I. Case Company present to the board their offers of settlement in the matter of the purchase of the road machinery from the said com- pany. Mr. Johnson made offer and tenure to take back the machinery purchas- ed from the J. I. Case Company, pro- viding that the J. I. Case Company would not be liable for any damages which said company might be held liable for by reason of any agree- ments which the township and said Case Company have heretofore en- tered into, said Case Company to re- fund to the township, the orders issued to said company in payment of said machinery, and to cancel all obligations of debts which the safd Case Company may allege to have against the township to this date, the hi issue its orders in said amounts due as specified, said orders to draw six per cent interest from the date of issuance, the date of issuance to |be the date when the said 75 horse |power engine shall arrive in Grand | Rapias. Mr. Johnson stated that this proposition meant that the J. I Case Company would adjust its dif- ‘ferences with the township by furn- lishing the 75 horse power | engine ‘equipped as stated, surrender the orders aggregating $3,000 issued to said Case Company, together es thereon, would receipt the bill for repairs in the sum of $52, which the township has refused to pay, and throw off the sum of $250 from the original purchase price; the township, if the proposition be accepted, when said engine be delivered according to this contract, to issue warrants aggregating $2,750 payable as here- inbefore stated, and when said or- ders for $2,750 shall be issued it shall be evidence of a complete set- tlement of the differences now ex- isting between the Case Company and the township. Supervisor Zeininger moved that the proposition of the J. I. Case Company to take back the road ma- chinery heretofore attempted to have been sold by the Case Company and purchased by the township, and to surrender to the township the town orders issued in attempted pay- ment of said machinery and cancel all claims of every nature against the township, be accepted, and that the delivery of said machinery to said Case Company and the surrend- er for cancellation of said warrants be final settlement of the pending matter betwen the township @nd the J.

I. Case Company the machin- ery without the township receiving some remuneration for the expenses and damages which the township had incurred and sustained by rea- son of the J. I. Case Company not fulfilling its original contract for the purchase of said road machinery. He stated that as a business propo- sition it was foolish for the board to attempt to make a present of the taxpayers’ money .to the J. I.
