Gentlemen:
u
I have before me the effidevit Filed by Alli^m 7. F+eaddy for canppes to his
automobile tires on April 6th.1 1933, on Jefferson rouleverd.
The claiment, as I live started before in another case, had a right to drive
on the public streets without injury to his automobi]e on account of defects in the
street end the City would be liable for ushc defects provided such defects were there
for a length of time that the city shoul& have taken constructive notice of such defectl

or had ectual notice of such defects and pxoviCed further that the claimant was not
himself guilty of contributory nep-liFence.
On t'-.ese tT,ro points the affiant .states specifically that the accident was
not on account of any negligence or unlawful operation of the automobile on his r)art.
In rer•^rd to the nrture of the defect in the street, I would suggest that
this be determined through t?i_e Street Department a's this department is the most avail-
-able means through i�Thich such mw.zT be determined by any one of us. If you find that
the defect comes within the above classificrtion ^s to notice and the accident occurred
without any contributory negligence on the part of the claiment, then T should say
that his claim is just and the court would fine for the plrintiff, therefor his claim
roulr be proporly allaxred.
