Syllabus

<p>SYLLABUS BY THE COURT.</p> <p>Cities and City Officers — Notice of Dangerous Condition of Street— Question for Jury. Whether a public street in a city, rendered unsafe for travel by the falling of an electric wire, had remained in such condition a period of time sufficient to charge the city with constructive notice of its unsafe condition, or whether the city had actual notice of the unsafe condition of the same, and might, with reasonable diligence, after the receipt of such notice, have repaired the same and averted an alleged injury occasioned thereby, is a question of fact for the jury and not a question of law for the court.</p>
