Excerpt from Supplement to Thompson's Treatise on the Law of Highways Where the owner allows the public to use his land as a highway for years, he is liable if a passer by, using ordinary care, sustains an injury by falling into an excavation made by him adjacent to the traveled portion. It was held that an alley need not be accepted by the public to be deemed a thoroughfare. (beck v. Carter, 68 N. Y. R. The street of a city or village may be used in any way which shall best promote the interest and business thereof. Where the trustees of a village authorized the erection of a soldier's monument in one of the public streets, it was held that they could do so without the consent of the owner in fee. (tompkins v.
