tuted dangerous defect in the side walk. Y. If failing to discover and remedy 1t, the defendant city failed in its statutory duty, and its failure was the proximate cause of the plaintiffs injury"
 The opinion adds, however, While the court did refer in general terms to the city's duty to exercise reason able supervision to maintain its highways in reasonably safe con- dition, nowhere did it state that con- sideration of this duty is involved in determining whether the defend- ant had constructive notice of it .. The test is whether, had the city exercised reasonable supervision in view of the whole situation, 1t would have discovered the defect a sufficient time before the injury to have reasonable opportunity to guard against it."
 In an unanimous opinion, the tri- bunal sustains $7,000 common pleas court decision returned in favor of Barbara M. Silks of this city, in her civil action against Helen B. and John T. Monzani. also of Waterbury.
 The plaintiff suffered injuries when struck by car owned by Mrs Monzani and operated by the other defendant, while crossing West Main street last February 2. The contention had been that the Silks woman had been in the act of cross ing the highway between paralle. white lines used for pedestrian travel, at the intersection of West Main and Prospect streets, when the accident occurred
 No Warning Signal
 In their appeal, the defendants maintained that the plaintiff hac not been on the crosswalk wheI struck, and walked blindly into the side of the automobile. This allega tion is dnieed by the tribunal, which also finds there was an unobstruct- ed view of the corner and crosswalk for a considerable distance along Prospect street" and that the de- fendant driver gave no warning sig nal of his approach by horn o, otherwise"
 A cldaim that the amount of dam. ages awarded by Judge A. s. Border was excessive brings the following contradiction: "To overthrow tn, award of damages when assessed b, a judge, the defendant must shop that it was so excessive as to b, one that the trial court could no reasonably make.
