A very interesting question as to the
liability of a municipality for the corr-

of a trolley company, which has been
given the right to lay tracks through

was argued before u- supremo court

Haven. The arguments wore made by
Attorney llaggcit for the city of New
Haven [Hill by Attorneys Slade &

In this state,
The suit was brought by Mr. llavlgnc
before the t'li‘ll superior court In New
Haven, for damages of $3,000 for
juries received by being thrown from
an automobile on May 20, I902. ll’he
plaintiff alleged that on that day he.
was rldinlz in on automobile along Cha-
pel stl'et't, New llaven,.and had reach-
edn point ncur Hews street when the
auto ran into a depression in the road.
The depression threw the wheels of
the automobile to one side, the. ma-
chine became unmanageable and the
occupant was thrown out to the curb
and was permanently Injured.
The plaintiff alleged that his injuries
were due to a defect In the "madbod
which had been allowed to exist tor a
long time. and beIassorled that the
city was responsible for his injuries
and tho damage to his automobile. a be
city defaulted, and thorn was a bear-

tlun oi the city, tool It was not respon-
sible. and that. even If it were only
nominal damages could be assessed.
and allowed a judgment. for the plain-
tiff to recover a... 1 damages with costs.
The appeal was taken on exceptions to
the. rulings made by Judge Roraback.
Mr Daggett counsel for the city
contended that the legislature had giv-
en the Fair Haven and Westvlllc
Street Railway Co. a charter granting
the company the privilege of laying Its
tracks and operating its road through
certain sections of the city. the provi-
sion rogurdlln; the keeping of the
streets In rcpnlr between the. railroad
tracks being a statutory one, and that

puny.
lie continued that As long as the
state. by charter had given the trolley
company the right to use a portion at
Chapel stroetI and had directed by stat
me that the trolley company should
keep the street between Its rails and
to a certain distancé’outsldc them in
good rcpnlrI the trolley company. and
not the city was liable for any dam-
ages which may have occurred by rea-
tionof the roadway between the trolley
tracks. it was also contended that the
plaintiff should have made an alleges
tion of his complaint that the defective
condition of the roadway was between
the tracks of the trolley company. so
that the cllv could have cited in the
company as a co-defendant. That con.
tcniion was overruled by Judge Rors-
back when it was raised before him.
Attorney Slade. for Mr. Lavigno.
claimed tme according to statute the
selectmcn or other proper officers of
all towns and cities In the state are
responsible for the condition of the
roadways wltlrln their respective juris-
dictions. He said that, the city was pri-
marily responsible for all roads and
streets. He contended that the stat-
utes direct the trolley companies to
been the road between their tracks In
gnu! repair. but said that a private
citizen of a city could not force the
railroad to keep the road in repair. but
that the city could. He therefore
claimed that. in failing to enforce that
statute against the railroad the city
had been negligent and was therefore
responsible, .
