Opinion

Faville, J.

Many years ago certain tracts of land were platted as additions to the city of Sioux City. In a general way> these additions lie in the eastern or southeastern portion of the city. The land is rolling and is sparsely settled. The platted streets were not generally opened for travel for many *1200 years and some are still unopened. Two of these streets are East Tenth Street, running-east and west, and St. Mary’s Street, running north and south. Prior to the summer of 1930 it appears that little, if any, work had been done to improve or open said two streets for public travel. Some work had been done on a part of East Tenth Street. However, people living- in that vicinity, seeking to go to and from Sioux City, had traveled in a diagonal course across the privately owned land in a northwesterly and southeasterly direction.
