Illinois Supreme Court June 18, 1908 (Kenyon v. Chicago City Railway Co.)

Mr. Justice Scott

delivered the opinion of the court:

It is urged that a verdict for the defendant should have been directed because it was not affirmatively shown by the proof introduced that the cinders were dumped in the street without the permission of the city. It is true that the city may, for certain purposes, permit the placing of temporary obstructions in the street.
