Claims Damages.

Because the Street and Sewer
Department, of Wilmington, re-
paired a portion of Washington
street by dumping thereon broken
bottles, tin cans, ashes, sections of
old Christmas trees and a liberal
sprinkling of dead cats, j. r. Rich
ardson, of the j. r. Richardson
Auto Company, is trying to collect
damages from the city. His au-
tomobile could not surmount the
pile of rubbish and was badly dam
aged in the effort to get over it.
Richardson claims the rubbish
was not marked by red light and
that he ran into it before he was
aware that it was there. His an-
tOmobile sank hub deep in the
ashes, the tires were cut by the
bottles, the old trees damaged the
machinery and the dead cats
added their share to his unpleasant
situation by making the atmosphere
odoriferous.
Mr.. Richardson is native of
this section, where he has numerous
relatives and friends.
