Mr. Charles N. Ford, Washington, D. C., for appellee.
Before BAZELON, WASHINGTON and BASTIAN, Circuit Judges.
PER CURIAM.
This is a suit for damages for personal injuries. Upon a former appeal by the plaintiff, 1957, 100 U.S.App.D.C. 120, 243 F.2d 226, we ordered a new trial which culminated in a judgment for plaintiff. The sole issue in the present appeal by the defendant is whether the third section of the Snow Removal Act, D.C.Code 1951, § 7-803, shifts the responsibility for removal of snow from streets and sidewalks adjacent to Federal property from the District of Columbia to the Director of the National Park Service, in such sense as to bar a suit against the District for personal injuries. The District Court, in an opinion reported at 1957, 153 F. Supp. 730, held that it did not. We agree.
Affirmed.
