intendent at the time the slab was poured for the garage, both reports indicat-
ing that the Builder should have been aware or was aware of the fact that the
garage would be considerably higher than the street level after it was improved
to grade.

Builder, and members of the City Council, and it appearing no decision- could be
made respecting whose liability it is to cause a correction of the condition,
