DONOVAN, CITY
 SETTLE ACTION
$1,50O Suit for Water town Avenue Accident
 Taken From Docket

The superior court civil action of Maurice A. Donovan of this city against the City of Waterbury was settled out of court today.
 MT. Donovan asked damages of $1 800 for injuries suffered March g, 1899, when his car crashed through a wire fence at Watertown avenue, stopping just short of top bling over into the Naugatuck river. The plaintiff claimed the accident was due to negligence on the part of the city, in that the highway at Watertown avenue was bumpy, had many holes, and was otherwise de- fective. His car hit one of these defects, it was alleged, causing him to lose control, thereafter going through an inadequate fence and coming to a stop with half the car suspended directly over the river. AS a result of the accident, MT. Dono- van claimed injuries requiring medi- cal attention.
 Attorney Joseph M. Navin ap- pears for the plaintiff, J. Gregory Lynch for the city.
