Syllabus

<p>MUNICIPAL CORPORATIONS.</p> <p>Municipal Garbage Collectors not Inerrant Representatives of Government Function.</p> <p>The collection of garbage by a municipality is not a function of sovereignty, nor are garbage collectors inerrant representatives of government; hence, in an action against a municipality for damages for death by wrongful act by a garbage collector employed by the municipality, it is error to arrest the case from the jury and render judgment for the municipality as a matter of law.</p> <p>[Syllabus approved by the court.]</p>
