GENERAL PRINCIPLES OP LAW Require a Deed from the Land Owner nnd Acceptance by the Citt--Oiif! Rule, However, Can Hardly Govern All CnscH--Ii(ng Use of n Street jlluy Imply Its Acccptaiice--N'uts for Cit Olllcials mid Real Esdito Pcoplu to Crack. With reference to what constitutes the dedication of a public street to pub lic use and Its acceptance by the city, City Engineer Phillips has received the following letter fiom City Solicitor To! icy: Joseph P. Phillips, Esq., City Engineer. Dear Sir Replying to youis of tho 6th Inst., In which you ask my opinion as to what netlou of councils, If uny, Is lequlred In order that theie may be an acceptance of a stieet ot stilp of ground tin own open by individuals for the purpose of belling lots on either side, would say: It Is dif ficult to state any iitle which will gov ern all cases. Tho general principle of the law Is that la older to constitute a street a public highway there must be a dedication of the land by thu owner and an acceptance by the public authorities. The laying out of the stieet, and the sell ing of the lots upon cither side of It de scribed as fiontlng upon the stieet, the filing 01 recoidlng of a plot showing the street or othei similar acts, constitute suf ficient dedication ot tho land for street pin poses by the owner; after such dedi cation tho public uuthotltlcs may ncccpt whenever they ste lit. Such acceptance Is, in the case of tho city, nccompllshid by passing an 01 dl nance 01, pci haps, icsolutlon, expressly stating the streets named and their ac ceptance as public tlioioughfutes; an Im plied accept nice arises In cases where the public authotltles have done acts iccog nMng the existence ot the highway and tt eating It as one of the public highways. This may be by appropriating money for uny making 1 epulis upon It, by locating several street lallway or other franchise upon It, by lecognizlng the stieet In 01 dl nances by laying seweis or sidewalks, paving 01 by any cotpoiate action which cleaily and distinctly lecognlzcs the exist ence of the stieet as a public highway. An implied acceptance clso frequently niises fiom long continued uses of tho stieets by tho public us such. Vety duly youis, ' James II. Toi rey.
