ORDINANCE N0. 4384•
An Ordinance Renouncing all Rights to
and Tacating certain Streets and Alloys in
and Between Blocks 56, 570 58 and 59,
Pulaski 'Heights Addition to Little Rock*
WHEREAS, there is presented to the City Council
of Little Rock, a petition filed by interested property
owners representing to the Council that on August 1, 1904,
the Pulaski Heights Land Company did file a plat of Blocks
569 579 58 and 59 of Pulaski Heights Addition to Little
Rock and in said plat appeared to dedicate an alley b- etween
the north and south halves of Block 58 and a street between
Block 58 and 59 and a street between Block 57 aiRd 58 of
said Pulaski Heights Addition; and
WHEREAS, it appears that the said blocks and the
open spaces indicated on the plat as streets and alleys
constitute a single unit of land which for more than fif-
teen years has been accepted as a part of and understood
by the public to be the private property and grounds of
St. Mary's Academy, and
WHEREAS$ it appears from said petition, from evi-
dence before the Council and by independent investigation
of the Council, that the spaces shown as streets and alleys
have never in fact been used by the public. That the spaces
indicated as streets and alleys are thickly covered with lergs
trees and boulders, that the grade is not such as to permit
r
the construction of a safe road thereon, that the spaces
indicated are now and have been at all times impassable and
impossible to be used as streets and alleys; that for more
than fifteen yearsithere has been a fence on the north side
of said grounds which has blocked ingress and egress to said
street and alleys; and
AREAS, it appears that there has been no accep-
tauce of the dedication of said streets and alleys by any
public body, nor accepted by the public by use thereof and
thst there has been a denial by the petitioners for more
than fifteen years of the right of the public to use said
dpaoss as streets, and there is now filed by the owners of
the adjacent and abutting property, a public cancellation
and withdrawal of said streets and alleys as platted ,
from public use.
