AN ORDINANCE VACATING AND ABANDONING AN ALLEY IN
BLOCK 116, ORIGINAL CITY OF LITTLE ROCK AND FOR
OTHER PURPOSES.
WHEREAS, a petition was duly filed with the Board of Directors of the City
of Little Rock, Arkansas, on the 12th day of December, 1960, asking the Board
of Directors to vacate, discontinue and abandon the alley described in said
petition and hereinafter described;
WHEREAS, after due notice as required by law, the Board of Directors has,
at the time and place mentioned in the notice, heard all persons desiring to be
heard on the question and has ascertained: that the alley sought to be vacated

Rock made by Roswell Beebe on February 29, 1840, does not show any alley in

shown as an alley is actually the West 10 feet of the East half and the East 10
feet of the West half of said Block 116; that no part of said 20 foot strip sought to
be vacated as an alley has been used as an alley at any time during the past
twenty-five (25) years; that no part thereof is required or needed for corporate
purposes or as an alley or passageway by the public generally or by anyone; that
the owners of all the property abutting upon said twenty foot strip (referred to as
an alley) to be vacated, discontinued and abandoned have filed with the Board of
Directors their written consent to such abandonment; and, that public interest or
welfare will not be adversely affected by the abandonment of said twenty foot strip
as an alley; provided, the existing easement for telephone installations and for
electric power installations shall not be changed or disturbed by this Ordinance
as provided hereinafter.
NOW, THEREFORE, be it ordained by the Board of Directors of the City of
