tc collect from Fay Webber a charge made against her for the cost of repairing
a street lighting post on Main Street damaged as a result of an automobile
accident at Main Street and Palm Avenue, which occurred July 7th, 1943, not-
withstanding two letters written by City Attorney Woodworth, to which replies
have not been received.

prove liability impractical, whereupon it was moved by Councilman Hesser,
