<br />
<br />Gentlemen:
<br />
<br /> On August 3rd, 1~27, one of the City's trucks connected with the street repair work
<br />cmme in contact with a m~n n~med Charlie Driver, who was riding a motorcycle, at the corner of
<br />Green and Queen Streets. The truck had been going north on Green Street, and turned to the
<br />left into Queen Street, the driver cutting the corner and evidently tried to get by before the
<br />motorcycle, which was going south.on Green Street reached the corner. The dmiver of the truck
<br />was arrested for reckless driving and acknowledged that he was a.~ faul~ in cutting the corner
<br />~nd attempting to head off the driver of the mozorcyole. Oharlie Driver w~s b~dly-hurt, his
<br />clothes were torn to pieces, and he w6s still unable mo work a few days ago. He agreed with me
<br />on Augus~ 2~th to accept Two Hundred Dollars in full of his damages, provided the City would
<br />furnishhim further medical attenmion. Since that time Dr. Phillips, the City Physician, has
<br />been atmending him. I recommend that the claim be settled for $200, and request that you make
