or injuries to person or property sustained in consequence of any street,
highway, bridge, culvert, sidewalk or crosswalk being defective, out of repair,
unsafe, dangerous or obstructed or for damages or injuries to person or property
sustained solely in consequence of the existence of snow or ice upon any sidewalk,
crosswalk, street, highway, bridge or culvert unless written notice of the
defective, unsafe, dangerous or obstructed condition or of the existence of
the snow or ice, relating to the particular place, was actually given to the
Village Clerk and there was a failure or neglect within a reasonable time
after the receipt of such notice to repair or remove the defect, danger or
obstruction complained of or to cause the snow or ice to be removed or the
place otherwise made reasonably safe.
