Syllabus

<p>Negligence — Municipalities—Ice on sidewalk.</p> <p>A municipality is not liable for an injury caused by the mere ordinary</p> <p>slippery condition of a sidewalk resulting from the sudden, formation of ice, but the city may be liable if the snow and ice exists in ridges and little hills and the pavement is permitted to remain in that condition for a length of time sufficient to charge the city with knowlédge of the situation, and the obstruction is not removed. In such case the city is not relieved from liability because it notified the owner of the sidewalk to remove the ice.</p>
