COUNTY DADS Held
LIABLE FOR INJURY

Helena.-In an opinion by Associate
Justice Wellington D. Rankin, the
supreme court holds responsible
for personal injury to travellers, coun-
ty commissioners who fail to erect
barriers on public highways when
such commissioners have knowledge
of a dangerous condition Of a road
The knowledge of the dangerous con-
dition Of any road, gained either in
their official capacity or as individ-
uals is knowledge within the law and
they are held liable.
The decision of the court is rend-
cred in the case of Genevieve Becker
against the individual county commits
sioners Of Yellowstone county. The
lever court directed the jury to re-
turn a verdict for the defendant
commissioners, in the plaintiffs suit
to recover damages for injuries re-
ceived in an accident on a bad road.
The high court reverses the ruling Of
the lower court and remands the case
with instructions to grant a new trial.
In the Becker case the commission
ers admit knowledge of the condition
Of the road. The evidence discloseS
failure to erect barriers.
