H. R. Kaufman

ELLIS, J. -- H. R. Kaufman, on the 26th day of April, 1919, while walking along the sidewalk on Monroe Street near Jefferson Street was knocked down and severely bruised by a cart and its appurtenances, called a trailer, which was attached to one of the fire trucks owned and operated by the City. The trailer was so constructed and attached to the fire truck that when the operator of the two vehicles turned a corner the trailer with its apparatus would sweep over and across the adjacent sidewalks subjecting pedestrians who were near the corner upon the sidewalk to the danger of being struck and injured thereby.
