(b) The City shall never be liable because of any damage
or injury to person or property arising from or caused by
conditions on any public street, alley or grounds, including
accumulations of snow or ice, or conditions resulting from
any public work of the City, unless the specific defect or con-
dition shall have been actually known to the City Manager
or City Engineer or to a supervisory employee of the depart-
ment concerned for a period of at least twenty-four hours
prior to the occurrence of the damage or injury, or unless

diligence was not used to remedy the defect or condition,
this shall constitute actual knowledge by the City Manager
or City Engineer or supervisory employee of the department
concerned as the case may be.
