The City expects to be governed by Mr. Freeman's conclusions and judgement as to the presentation of this enss in response to the order to show cause. Replying to the other inquiries contained in your letter, which have been referred to me by Mr. Manson, permit me to statesThe considerations, to which reference was made at the bearing before the Board of Engineers and upon which the City desires to introduce evidence, are, in general, as follows:1.
