against city.[15]
No action shall be maintained against the said city for
damages for an injury to any person or property alleged to
have been sustained by reason of the negligence of the city,
or any officer, agent or employee thereof, unless a written
statement of the claimant, his agent or attorney, of the nature
of the claim and of the time and place at which the injury
is alleged to have occurred or been received shall have
been filed, as provided by general law. (1972, c. 184.)

that the statement of the claimant be certified by oath.
