Court of Appeals of Wisconsin.

Decided October 21, 1986.

Attorney(s) appearing for the Case

For the defendant-appellant, City of Ashland, there was a brief by Scott W. Clark, city attorney of Ashland, WI.

For the plaintiff-respondent, Daniel R. Crawford, there was a brief by P. Scott Hassett of Madison, WI.

Before Cane, P.J., LaRocque and Myse, JJ.
