What Are The
Home Owners
& Parents Liabilities

What are some legal problems
that you, as a parent and home
owner, might encounter in your
every day life?
A pedestrian might fall on the
public sidewalk crossing your
property, either because of a de-
feat in the walk itself or due to
ice or snow conditions. You, the
homeowner, are generally not
liable to the injured person, even
if you knew of the holes in the
walk or failed to shovel off the
snow. The courts have held that
repair and maintenance of the
public sidewalks are the respon-
sibility of the municipality and not
of you, the abutting owner. A
homeowner would be liable, how
ever, where he himself created the
hazardous condition. One example
would be icing the public sidewalk
by carelessly allowing water to
flow on it in the process of making
private skating rink on your
property. OF course, a homeowner
is responsible for the condition of
the private walks upon his prop
erty, the Minnesota State Bar ex-
plains.
Your dog could bring you a
lawsuit, especially in urban areas.
Historically, a dog-owner was not
liable to a person attacked by his
dog if he did not know his dog
was vicious. However, after the
dog had bitten one person, that
knowledge was supplied and there
after the dog-owner was held
liable for later attacks. Hence, the
pithy saying in law-"Every dog
is entitled to one bite" However,
by Minnesota statute, a dog owner
who lives in urban areas is liable
even for the first bite, even
though he did not know his dog
was vicious. His only legal defense
is proof that the dog was provoked
into attack, which would relieve
the owner of liability. There are
advantages in country living.
A rarely considered question is
whether you, as a parent, are
liable for injuries or damages
which your children cause to other
persons or property. The general
rule is that parents are not liable,
though the child may be, depend
ing upon his age and understand
ing. An exception is the statutory
rule that an owner of a car is
liable in damages to any person in
jured by the negligence Of the
driver Of the car, if the owner
authorized the driver to use the
car. That driver could be your
child.
Further, a parent might be
liable If he knew his child had
vicious tendencies and exposed an
innocent person to that child with
out warning. A court recently held
that recovery could be had by a
baby-sitter for injuries inflicted on
her by a four-year old boy for
whom she was caring on proof
that he had engaged in violent
and furious attacks on other per-
sons and that the parents knew of
that fact. We trust you do not
have a child like that.

reached in his pocket to show
Walker some money he had Dor
rowed.
Walker, thinking Degree was 60
ing to pull a knife, got his gun
and was arrested while still hold
ing Degree at bay.

ance and perhaps a fight over
the speakership itself.
The 217-212 vote in Speaker
Rayburn's favor enlarged the
committee from 12 to IS mem
oers only for the two years o1
the 87th Congress that con-
Vened January 3.
Such a currently slim ma
jority margin, plus the posi-
bility Of House Republican
gains in the 1862 off-year cleo
tions, practically assures q
drive by conservatives to re-
verse that rules vote and re-
capture the committee.

That attempt conceivably
could sbe made at any time
during the present session, al
thoQah it seems unlikely be-

whes made it would be strongly
reSiSEsd by Democratic liberals
and many tnoderateS, especially
If tAg Kennedy administration
meaSnres get unusually rough
treatment IN Congress this
year.
House veterans. including

successful move to 'liberalize"

speakership would be at stake
in the renewed battle.

face a real fight to keep the
office he has held almost twice

A few House Democratic

vately they would have opposed
Mr., Rayburn'S next bid for the
Speakership If he had lost last
Thursday on the Rules Com
ntittee issue. They declared
that an even larger number
OF members Of the group and
probably others would have
done the same If he had re-
fused demands for action on
the committee.

OF some criticism even among
those who voted with him
