SALINE LADY WANTS $10,000

---

Starts a Suit Against the City of Ypsilanti

---

FAULTY SIDEWALK: SUIT

---

Alleged Injuries were Received Last March Upon Hamilton Street.

---

Some time ago the city of Ypsilanti was compelled to pay a $1,500 judgment to Virgie Comiskie for injuries received by reason of not having a crosswalk where one should have been placed. The city now has a $10,000 defective sidewalk case on its hands. In many places of the city the plank walks are built so that the boards run at right angles to the street. When two persons are walking side by side and one of these boards happens to be loose at one end, a party stepping on the opposite end of the plank is able to cause at least some inconvenience to the other party. On March 20 last Ella A. Glazier, a milliner of Saline, carne to Ypsilanti. As she was walking up Hamilton st. with her escort, the latter did unconsciously just, what was referred to above, when in front of No. 410. The end of the plank in front of Mrs. Glazier flew up, causing her to fall heavily, and it resulted in such serious injuries that she claims that she has since been unable to conduct her millinery business in Saline. A. J. Sawyer & Son, who represent her, ask for $10,000 damages against the city.
