decrcpitudc, and remarked with much
warmth, on the cordial greeting the dis.
tingulshed gentleman extended them.

The followirgls the decision refer
red to in the minutes of our city dads
of this week as taken from the Detroit
Free Press:
\ resident of Detroit recovered dam
ages against the city for injuries re-
ceiyed by reason of defective side
walk The city subsequently began
suit against one Chaffee to recover the
moneys and damages sustained to it
by reason thereof. Chaifee owned the
premises adjacent, whereon the in
juries complained Of in the suit against
the city were sustained. The evidence
showed that Chaffee had notice OF the
defects in his sidewalk and neglected
and refused to repair tie same.
Our supreme court holds that Chafiee
was liable for all damages sustained e.
any one b. reason of such defective
side walk and that if the city WAS sped
for such damages il i'm turn could re-
cover the same against such property
owner or tenant as the case might he.
Our citizens should note carefully
the contents of this decision since
there are many places in the side walks
in our village where one can easily sus-
tain serious aud painful injuries. If
such should occur here, who among our
prominent business men might not
be financially RUNE all on account of
a little carelessness in not repairing
their side walk. Our property holders
should inspect their side walks person.
ally TO know they are all right and
hus avoid liability which heretofore
rested entirely with the village.

them equally rampant Proiectionsts. This may or
