City Files Answer to Amended Com-
"plaint and Demands Damages for
Violation of Contract and Sain ef
Gravel, Necessitating Sewer Be
Placed on Trestle.
City Attorney Ncff filed answer to
the amended complaint of I. J.
Phipps against tho city of Medford
in the sewer case Monday afternoon.
The city, as defendant, maintains
that after a permit had been given
by I. J. Phipps to construct a sewer
through his .property across Bear
creek, the complainant sold a largo
quantity of gravel and sand from the
bed of the stream, making it neces
sary' for the city to build trestlework
across the stream rather than lay
the pipe on the bottom of the stream,
as originally planned. This, it is
claimed, cost the city $800 and made
danger of the sewer proving an im
pediment to the winter floods pos
sible, as, if the pipe had been laid on
the bottom of the creek, as originally
plnnncd, the floods wonld have flow
ed over it. The city demands that
Phippa.jsimbnrsal.therty-JiOO lo
cover the loss occasioned by his no
tion.
DrJdgo Agreement.
The city ndmits the agreement to
build n .$2500 bridge, but maintains
thnt investigation proved thnt a
bridge could not bo built for that
sum nnd that tho city did not have
the additional funds necessary to
completo a bridge. However, the
answer explains that the citv intends
to levy taxes in December that will
include tho amount necessary for
the construction of n wagon bridge
at this point' and that n pennanent
structure will be built during the
coming spring.
City Attornoy Neff further argues
that the sewer across Bear creek is
high enough to allow nil but nn unus
unl high wnter to pass underneath,
and maintains thnt tho sowor is beim;
constructed so that tho trestlework
