Redress for damage done to For
automobile when the car went into
ditch on upper Washington street on
rainy afternoon few weeks ago i
sought by Harry Smith Washington
man, who caused to be presented to thu
city council at its regular session las
evening a bill for repairs submitted by
the Perry Auto Co. Where the autois
alleged that an unprotected hole in ths
road was responsible for the premature
II only temporary interment of the cal
and consequent damage, Alderman Glys
son OF the street committee, in reviewing
the circumstances, said that pile of dirt
two feet high guarded the hole while la.
borers sought shelter from downpour OF
rain. The tone of the councillors in dis.
cussing the billiodicated that the burden
of responsibility rested with the driver
OF the Ford, inasmuch as the citys work
men were fortunate not to have been in
the hole When the car dropped in, The
BILL matter of $3.50, was ordered re-
turned to the Perry Auto Co. when the
city clerk quoted the city attorney as de-
claring that the city is not liable for the
damage zone 10 the car.

became known that the city is to be
taxed one and one-half cents for repairs
to be made on the county buildings A

ton account, 5000 to state and county
