To the Honorable Mayor and City
Council of the City of Dubuque,
Iowa.
Gentlemen: Your Committee on
Claims reports that at the October
term of court, 1910, Thomas P.
McLaughlin brought suit against the
City of Dubuque to recover the sum
of Fifteen Thousand Dollars as dam-
ages sustained by him by falling upon
an alleged defective sidewalk on the
easterly side of Couler Avenue, in
front of a brick building known as
No. 2142 Couler Avenue and occu-
pied by the Bassler Shoe Store —the
walk at that point having a number
of bricks out of the walk, leaving a
hole therein. On the 5th day of
April, 1909, McLaughlin stepped into
said hole, causing him to fall, and
as a result of said fall he turned his
ankle, pausing a severe sprain of the
ankle and the breaking of a small
bone in the right leg.
The attorneys representing the said
McLaugh]in made an offer to adjust
the claim for the sum of Four Hun-
dred Dollars. Believing it to be to•

ment be made with said McLaughlin_
