"I made the survey and furnished the plans and specifica tions, and when the work was about to begin it was discovered that the election by which the improvement was ordered had not been regular. Subne quently this defect was cured by hold ing another election. "I still stood ready to perform the work according to my contract, but the members of the Council insisted that I should remain In Roseburg per sonally and superintend the work. This I declined to do, as the terms of the contract did rtot require it- I proposed to send a competent man to superintend the ' improvement and agreed to. visit the . city and inspect the work from time to time. This ar rangement was not satisfactory to-the Council. I then notified the Council that I was willing they should cancel the contract and they seemed willing to do so. "Under the provisions of my contract there is nothing that requires me per sonally to be in Roseburg and conduct the improvement. The city through its Council has no legal claim against me and can only fail in its attempt to forfeit the bond for $3000 which I de posited in good faith for the perform ance of. the work according . to con tract."
