The Board of Supervisors yesterday re-
jected the claims for damages aggregating
SAG, 500 in connection with the automobile
accident on the night of August 21, last,
near the town of McClelland, when Miss
Inez Purdy of Oakland received injuries
which resulted in her death. The claims
were those Of the administrato of the es-
tate of Miss Purdy for $25, 900, Milton Purdy
for $4,000, Ray Piles for $4,000 and Her
man b. N. Beckett of Lincoln, Neb., for
$1,000. Attorney Emmett FINLEY appeared
before the board on behalf Of the claim
ants and each of the four claims was
voted on separately and each was rejected
by unanimous vote Of the board. 1t was
commended by Mr.. FINLEY that although the
bridge where the accident took place was
a township structure, the size of the bridge
and the conditions surrounding IL were
such that the county should have con-
structed 1t, and that in failing to do so and
in failing to protect the place properly
while the bridge was in a dangerous con-
dition, the ounty was negligent and there
fore liable. Mr.. FINLEY suggested that he
and the county attorney discuss the legal
phases Of the claims before. the board
reached a decision, but the board decided
not to delay action, and after a reading
OF the four claims by the county auditor
they were taken and voted upon separately.
Suits, II is understood, will now be
brought in the district court by the four
claimants against Pottawattamie county
for the amount Of the damages sought to
be recovered.
