Description
Action in behalf of Patricia Smith, a minor, by her guardian ad litem to recover damages for personal injury against the defendants city of Jefferson and Ralph J. Kriederman, and a separate action by Walter Smith, father of the minor, to recover his damages for medical and other expenses made necessary by such injury to his minor daughter. The facts are contained in the allegations of the complaints. Kriederman owns property abutting on High street in the city of Jefferson. For more than two months prior to October 21, 1955, a gap of three squares, or approximately twelve lineal feet, had existed in the public sidewalk in front of such premises from which the concrete had been removed. Kriederman was fire chief of the city and he obtained from the city two unshielded open kerosene flare pots and placed one at each end of the gap. Such flares were maintained in a lighted condition during such two month period, except that on some occasions Kriederman would extinguish them in the early morning and relight them at night. The kerosene used to fuel such flares came from the citys supply of kerosene.
