Dear SirS:
Relative to the cOmmunica ton of
Mr.. Herbert F. Schendel, attorney for
Mrs. Viola WitkOwSki kOrdOmeSZkO,
of POI Antoine Street, regarding
claim against the City of WyandOtte.
for the loss of a plate glass window
due to stone being thrown from the
pavement in front of claimant store
by passing truck, please be advised
that it is my recommendation that the
claim he denied. for tte reason that
no liability rests with the City
The statutes relative to the cOndi-
ton of the streets and the liability of
the municipality fixes the liability on
| ly for injury to persons and property
upon the highway. 1t imposes no liza
bility for injury TO abutting lands or
property. Further, the City Charter
provides that the City shall not be-
liable for unliquidated damages for
personal or other injuries unless no
| tice of said claim be filed with the
Mayor or City Clerk within 90 days
after such injury shall have occurred.
This alleged claim or loss occurred
| during the month of March. 1910.
Sincerely,
Frederick J. Gartner.
City Attorney.
Referred To Council.
| Honorable Mayor and Council.
City of WyandOtte.
| Dear SirS:
In compliance with your request for
information relative TO the cOmmuni-
cation of the Board of Education OF
| the City of WyandOtte. regarding the
transfer of title of the public library
property. from the City of WyandOttr
t. the Board OF Education. | have
checked the deed and abstract TO this
property.
| find that on October l. 1913. the
Eureka Land Company, now nOn-eXiSt-
ing. decided the said property to the
City of WyandOtte for library purposes
only. The deed contained Il reverSiOn
airy clause as follows:
That if the said premises shall be
vacated or used for any other purpose
! than above stated. shall entitle said
| first party, its successors or assigns
| to enter upon and take possession OF
said premises and said party of the
second part, its successors. legal repre-
sentativeS or assigns put out. and the
| title to said premises shall thereupOn
revert to and vest in the party of the
| first part, it's successors and assigns.
| This clause in this deed would not
necessarily bar transfer of title as
Michigan law provides for quieting
title in such cases and court decisions
have held that good title vest in the
grantee in similar cases.
A transfer of title from the City to
the Board of Education for public
purpose could be made, without cOnsld-
Grafton for such transfer, unless such
transfer cOnflicted with the Michigan
Home Rule Act AS to public sale which
would depend on the value of the pro-
perty to be transferred. In that case
an appraisal would be required to de-
termine the value and the right of the
Council to make such transfer.
If the Council cOntemplates the
granting of the request of the Board OF
Educa ton. | would suggest the calling
of a joint meeting of the Council and
the Board members to further study
the problems involved.
sincerely,
Frederick j. Gartner
City Attorney.
