CITY OF SAINT PAUL
OFFICE OF THE CITY ATTORNEY
May 6, 1974 R. SCOTT DAVIES
TO: Members of the City Council
FROM: Daniel L. Ficker
SU&7ECT: Claims of Freda Driscoll and Jean Osteraas
T'he claim of Freda Driscoll arose out of an incident
on May 8, 1973 when she suffered a sprain and contusion
of her right foot and ankle and twisted her neck as
a result of stepping into a hole in the east crosswalk
on 7th Street at the intersection of St. Peter and
7th Streets. She incurred medical bills of $52 .00
and complained of pain from the injury as late as
December, 1973. It is my opinion that the City would
be held liable for the injury.
The claim of Jean Osteraas arose out of the loss of
her coin collection by the Department of Police on
July 8, 1971. The police department had taken possession
of the coin collection on December 16, 1969, and held
the collection until the coins were lost by placing them
in a trust account on July 8, 1971. The coin collection
has been appraised by Dayton' s coin expert at $7,831.96,
and by another appraiser at approximately $6,900.00.
Miss Osteraas has evaluated the coin collection at over
$8,400.00. It is my opinion that a bailment contract
arose at the time the City took possession of the coin
collection, and the City is liable for its failure to
return the coin collection to its rightful owner.
