Supreme Court of Iowa·Decided April 4, 1951·No. 47829·Published

Opinion

Bliss, J.

-We set out herein a tracing of a part of the plat of “The Heights”, recorded in April 1914, with the hope that it will simplify and clarify the statement of the facts. The witnesses on each side, being, with few exceptions, residents of the addition, are in agreement on one proposition, and that is that “The Heights” is the very best residential district in Sioux City. Originally it consisted of sixty-one plots, not uniform in size or shape. Most of the plots were quite large. The lengths of some were over 300 feet and' the widths of others were over 200 feet. Curving streets divide the addition into irregular parts, of which the central one is somewhat elliptic in form. East Solway Street curves about the east side of this ellipse and West Solway about its west side, and West 24th Street curves about its lower west side and around its base and on east into McDonald Street, which extends north and south as the east boundary of the addition. Quite a number of the plots have been divided, and plots 3, 4, 5 and 6 have been replatted. The uniform width of the streets as laid out is fifty feet except as they widen in opening into other streets.
