The application was properly granted where petitioner is an infant, the period of delay was only some two months, and respondent Housing Authority, which claimed ignorance of any defects in the injury-causing playground equipment prior to service of the instant application, failed to show any reason for not believing that the equipment was in the same condition at the time of such service as it was at the time of the accident.
