MUNICIPAL CORPORATIONS, § 405 — evidence sufficient to show filing of statements in writing of injury with city officials. Where the plaintiff sued the town for accidental injuries received in a fall on a sidewalk occasioned by difference in level of two slabs, and her attorney went to the office of the town attorney and the office of the town clerk to file statements in writing of the injuries and found them absent and left the notices with, and took receipts for copies of the notices from, parties in the office authorized to take notices and receipt for them in the absence of these officials, the trial court properly found the statements were filed with the two officials in conformance with the statute and it did not err in admitting them in evidence (Ill. Rev. Stat. 1939, ch. 70, § 7; Jones Ill. Stats. Ann. 107.148).
