one OF the driving horses I had on the

time. She injured her ankle Joint so that
she cannot step on 1t and has not been used
since said accident. The value OF this horse
10 me was at least 500 and the damages
have been OF appear to be at this time the
value of the horse. And we feel and claim

Cured and we ask that the city reimburse
