8 BSH0I SO0 CLAN IS REJEGTED AGAI kham Says City Not Liable lor Boy’s Drowning i On motlon of Councliman Emil jerpe, seconded by Chalrman George olander, the clalms committee at its eeting last night voted to give lieorge Sadis leave to withdraw his alluoq for $10,000 damages for the Hleath of his son, ¥red, at the municl- bal swimming ‘pool. This recom- imendation will be made to the com- non council at its next#meeting. At the opening of the meeting, Judge J. H. Kirkham, ‘corporation founsel, presented a report stating that In his opinlon, the city is not flable. Discussing the matter, Judge i Kirkham said: “I see no reason to change the ppinion I have expressed in other ses of this kind, such as the Dixon . The city is not liable for negli- nce of its officers, either malfeasance br misfeasance. The law has been hpplied by the courts in many cases. e state can make the city lable in NEW BRITAIN Imn never been a statute eovering this matter “SBadis claims the city did not af- ford propbr protection at the pool. It has come out that it is not at all sure he died of drowning. The boy could swim yet he did not come up. When he jumped from the raft, feet first, he pushed the raft back. Thére is lttie chance that he hit the raft. The hoy |might have dled of heart fallur® even if there had been a guard there, Over- eating, the heat o6f the day and the shock of jumping for his brother might have caused heart fallure and death, “In every case there is the pomsi- bility of llability, but in this case I feel the commission should recoms mend the petitioner be given leave to withdraw. “This case might be settled, as the parents have suggested by the city paying the funeral expenses, but the {council should take that up. If the committee wants to be consistent it cannot allow sympathy to dictate the policy in one case and not in another, “If you pay a clalm without lability you'll set a very bad precedent.” Chairman Molander asked Judge Kirkham if there was a possibllity of Badis collecting. The corporation counsel that such a decision would be a re- versal of previous declsions. He cited an instance in Ohlo where such had been the case. Councilman Hjerpe asserted that he explained I DAILY HE since there was appareutly no labil ity he moved the petitioner be given leave to withdraw Councilman ¥, 8.
