Description
The facts are substantially as follows: At about six oclock p.m., February 20, 1935, plaintiff, Zoe Norton, a woman fifty-seven years of age, was on her way from work at the West Hotel in downtown Denver to her home on South Ogden street. She had ridden a tramway company street car out East Colfax avenue to Marion Street where she alighted to transfer to a south-bound Marion street bus, also operated by the tramway company. Upon alighting from the street car, she walked to and upon the sidewalk on the south side of Colfax avenue in a southeasterly direction toward the bus-stop at the curb on the west side of Marion street. As the bus neared, she approached the curb, her forward progress toward the bus as it approached apparently being temporarily halted. It appears from the record that in laying the sidewalk at this point, there being a desire on the part of the city to preserve an elm tree that had been there for some years, the walk was so constructed as to leave a rectangular depression some four feet in size and five inches deep, to facilitate the watering of the tree. As Mrs. Norton moved back from the curb line away from the approaching bus, she stepped into this depression, lost her balance and fell against the projecting edge of the walk, thereby sustaining serious permanent injuries.
