Walkers Sue City Over Flood Damages in 1901 Suit
Alderman Robert Walker and his wife sue the city for 1500 dollars claiming damages to their property from a storm on April 22, 1901. The case revives a disputed bill backed by the Board of Aldermen and city attorney but vetoed by Mayor Kilduff, with Hellmann Brewing Co represented by GC Root opposing payment. The flooding stemmed from the brewery’s diversion of a stream into the public sewer on Bank Street, flooding Walker’s drug store basement and wrecking drugs and cigars. The suit, to be heard in Superior Court in September, has stirred city opinion as a potential precedent for future city bills.
