Moore v. City of Cape Girardeau
Citation | 103 Mo. 470,15 S.W. 755 |
Parties | MOORE et al. v. CITY OF CAPE GIRARDEAU. |
Decision Date | 09 March 1891 |
Court | Missouri Supreme Court |
The petition in an action against a city alleged that plaintiffs owned property abutting on a certain street; that the property could be reached only by such street; and that by reason of the defective condition of such street plaintiffs were unable to use or occupy the property. It did not appear that defendant had by ordinance or by use accepted the alleged street, or had ever by ordinance ordered it to be opened or approved, though it did appear that the city, in leasing property along the alleged street, reserved "a strip of ground sixty feet wide * * * for a street." Held, that the evidence did not show a dedication or acceptance of a street, so as to render the city liable, though it appeared that many years before persons living along the alleged street used the same.
Appeal from circuit court, Cape Girardeau county; H. C. O'BRYAN, Judge.
