A Flint Michigan couple occupants of a car in a December collision with a Clare fire truck have notified the city they will claim 85000 dollars in damages. Attorneys list 35000 for Harry Howard and 50000 for Isma Howard. The notice meets state requirements and the city is insured. The accident occurred December 27 1957 when the Clare Fire Department answered a rural fire call east of the city. Floyd Woodworth driver of the fire truck said he could not stop to avoid the collision after the Howard car failed to yield the right of way. State Police investigated and issued no tickets. An insurance adjuster is working on the case through a local agency.
