Supreme Court of Georgia August 17, 1906 (City Council of Augusta v. Dozier)

Cobb, P. J.

(After stating the foregoing facts.)

The City of Augusta is the owner of the canal and the land upon which the body of water known as Lake Olmstead is situated. This land adjoins a public highway. The city therefore owes to travelers upon the highway the same duty that any owner of land adjoining a highway owes to travellers thereon.
