Description
The opinion of the court was delivered by This appeal arises out of an action for damages resulting from
injuries sustained by the plaintiff when he fell into a water
meter pit or manhole located in a public sidewalk of the city of
Concordia, appellant herein. On January 10, 1953, the appellee, hereafter referred to as the
plaintiff, was an employee in a garage on Seventh Street in the
city of Concordia. The garage faced south on Seventh Street which
ran east and west. A public sidewalk occupied Seventh Street from
the front of the garage to the curb of the street. Approximately
in the center of this sidewalk was a manhole cover, located about
20 or 30 feet east of the garage door, which covered a meter pit
housing a water meter for the garage. This cover was made of
iron, was circular, and was about flush with the surface of the
sidewalk. The outer rim of the cover rested on the lip or flange
of an iron ring or frame around the top of the manhole. This lip
or flange was about 7/16ths of an inch deep.
