INDEPENDENT CONTRACTORS, § 14 — exception to rule that employer of independent contractor may not be held liable for latter's negligence. In action against candy store operator and independent contractor employed to fix store lights, for personal injuries sustained when customer, who had not been warned of danger, was struck by falling glass lighting fixture, store operator could not escape liability on ground that it was not liable for negligence of independent contractor, since allowing work to be done on fixture containing cracked glass, which condition was known to both defendants, created dangerous condition which made work inherently dangerous and within exception to rule that one employing independent contractor may not be held liable for latter's negligence where employer does not control performance of work.
