POLICY #A-221180     ASSURED: Franklin D. and Anna Eleanor
                                                   Roosevelt
 
CLAIMANT: Nino
 
This is the first notice of accident. I have had photographs
taken of the claimant's car and the assured's car, also of
roadway where accident occurred. This was done by Frank
Howard, 254 Main Street, Poughkeepsie, Telephone 606.
 
The roadway where this accident occurred is three strip
concrete, each strip being 9 feet wide, making roadway in
all 27 feet wide with approximately a 5 foot shoulder and a
small ditch about 1= or 2 feet deep. The photographer and
myself took the necessary measurements and they will be
found in his report.
 
Our assured's chauffeur secured the name and address of the
party who took him to the hospital, but he has lost this
information. He did not wait and see what happened to the
occupants of the other car and does not know where they
were taken after the accident. The claimant's car was towed
to Mt. Moriah Garage. The nightman, Smith LaRue of
Staatsburgh was driving the tow truck. I have arranged to
have Plain Brothers Garage inspect the claimant's car. 
 
I am attaching to the file the claimant's business card,
which is as follows:- Renganeschi Restaurant-Nino & Joe, 86
Christopher St., N. Y. C. Telephone-Spring 9781.
 
Up until the present time there has been no complaint made
against either driver and no claim has been made as yet and
at this time I do not know whether Governor Roosevelt is
going to make claim against the other party.
