City Denied Liability for Removing Street Water
City Attorney Clifford E. Hayes ruled the city has no liability for removing surface water caused by street and alley grading. A small drain is not sufficient to trigger broader drainage duties and negligence could arise only if existing drains were neglected or street grading diverted water into the intersection. The decision followed a notice filed by Mrs Heber Arden Arms Hotel claiming a dangerous condition at W 14th St and Canal Ave.
