Broke Three Ribs And Wants S2,ooo

A sidewalk damage case against the city

Petition presented to the common council asks damages for defect in West Huron St. Walk

Apparently the city of Ann Arbor has another sidewalk damage case on its hands. Jennie Shay sent a petition to the council Monday night asking for $2,000 damages for injuries she claimed to have sustained on February 1 last on West Huron street In front of the old foundry property by reason of her right foot catching in a hole 4 inches wide by 2 1/2 inches, just as she was crossing the little bridge in the sidewalk. She claims to have been violently thrown to the ground, to have had three ribs broken and to have sustained other injuries. The matter was referred to the city attorney and the finance committee.
