Brady v. City of Tacoma

Bespondents own, and occupy as a residence, property across the street from and directly facing the electric substation of the appellant city, situated on block 103, Second School Land Addition to Tacoma.

It is conceded that the construction and equipment of the substation is standard throughout, and it is not contended that it is negligently operated in any particular.
