Title

Report of James Bayard and Isaac C. Jones Jr. on the claim of John Notiman, 1862

Description

Report conducted in relation to a claim put forward by John Notman who helped design and oversee the construction of an addition to the Society. In the claim, Notman requested that the Society pay him $143 as part of a settlement for his work. The report found that there was no official contract made between Notman and the Society, and that the latter understood the work to be done pro bono. They also state that the statute of limitations barrs any claim made by Notman for reimbursement. The report recommended that the Society use that defense only if an exorbitant amount was requested, and suggested that a sum of seventy-five dollars be paid to Notman in order to settle the claim.
