CONNOR T. HANSEN, J.

This appeal presents issues both as to determination of causal negligence on the part of the defendant and the trial court's finding of waiver of the statutory limitations of liability by the city. Therefore, we deem it desirable to review the evidence in considerable detail. The issues raised on the negligence trial and the waiver trial will be considered separately.
