August 28th..1917. Cont
<br />I fully appreciate that it is very difficult for your Board or your
<br />Street Commissioner to keep a record of every defe ct in the Company's pavement, but
<br />mot certainly the notice can with little difficulty be made more definite. All
<br />that the law requires is a reasonable notice. And I believe that your Board could
<br />at least state the number of defects in the Block, or make tt certain in some such
<br />manner.
<br />I am herwith sending you a form of notice, which can be used by the
<br />Street Commissioner and submitted to your Board for service.
<br />-yours very truly,
<br />E . F. SEEB IRT.
