Gentlemen:Your committee to whom
was referred the above entitled claims
have had the same under consideration
and have examined the same and the
circumstances attending the alleged
injury which resulted in the damage
claim and from the examination we

opinion that the highway at the place
claimed at the time of the injury was
sufficient for public travel and that
whatever damage the claimants suffer
was due to the contributory negligence
of the driver of the car and we there
fore recommend that both of said
