Asks $500 Of The City

Mrs. Henry C. Walker, of North Ingalls street, petitioned the common council last night to pay her $500 for injuries received from a fall on a defective sidewalk. Mrs. Walker sets forth that the city had raised the grade of the sidewalk in front of James C. Otttey's lot on the north side of Geddes avenue, about two feet. A new sidewalk had been built in front of Ottley's lot on the new grade and terminated with a perpendicular fall of two feet to the old sidewalk. She set forth that there were no lights to show the way, and that about half-past seven o'clock on the night of October 7 she feil from the end of the walk, two feet, and broke her ankle and was obliged to keep it in a piaster cast for over a month. The petition was referred to the city attorney and the board of public works.
