Glenn JENKINS v. CITY OF ALEXANDRIA.
    No. 57549.
    Supreme Court of Louisiana.
    March 12, 1976.
   In re: Glenn Jenkins, applying for Cer-tiorari, or writ of review, to the Court of Appeal, Third Circuit, Parish of Rapides, 324 So.2d 924.

Writ denied. The result is correct.

TATE, J.,

dissents: The City’s violation of its duty to maintain the visibility of the stop sign was the proximate cause of the accident. As against the city which created the risk, the motorist’s conduct in proceeding into the intersection does not bar his recovery. The trial court’s determination of his freedom from negligence is not manifestly erroneous.

CALOGERO, J., dissents from refusal to grant this writ.
