FISHER, Chief Justice.

—This is an action against the city of Dallas to recover damages for injuries sustained by his wife on account of her falling on a street at an approach to a bridge. The negligence complained of is that the city permitted the approaches, to the bridge on Main Street to be encroached upon and injured and undermined by the waters of a creek flowing under the bridge, to such an extent that the same was unsafe and unfit for travel, and that the city negligently suffered the bridge and the approaches to remain out of repair, all of which they had notice of.
