of any street, highway, bridge, culvert, sidewalk or crosswalk being defective,
out of repair, unsafe, dangerous or obstructed or in consequence of the existence
or accumulation of snow or ice upon any street, highway, bridge, culvert,
sidewalk or crosswalk unless written notice of the existence of such condition,
relating to the particular place had, prior to the happening of the event
causing the damages or injuries to persons or property, actually been given
to the Board of Trustees of the Incorporated Village of Canton, and there
had been a failure or neglect on the part of said village to cause such condition
to be corrected or such snow or ice to be removed, or the place otherwise
