Syllabus

<p>Negligence — Municipalities—Defect in highway.</p> <p>Where a city requires a water company to construct a water gate in a street so that the cap shall be flush with the pavement, and it appears that the cap is so constructed, but that subsequently the pavement around it settled so that the cap projects above the blocks of the pavement, and this defective condition continues to exist for two years, a person injured by falling over the cap, while alighting from a street car, is entitled to an action against the city to have her case submitted to the jury.</p>
