Description

Respondents (four husbands and their respective wives) owned four homes in St. Louis County, each of which abutted on a strip of land which in 1905 had been dedicated to St. Louis County as a public street but which respondents claimed had been abandoned by nonuser. They sought a judgment declaring that they were the owners respectively of designated portions of the allegedly abandoned street. The case was tried to the court who adJudged that respondents had respective fee simple estates and that St. Louis County had no title or interest in the land. In the view we take, the dispositive facts are undisputed. The ground was dedicated to St. Louis County for the public use on October 9, 1905, as a portion of Third Avenue, a street in a platted subdivision, then and at trial time in an unincorporated area of St. Louis County. Third Avenue runs east and west. The area in question is 60 feet wide and 270 feet long and is that part of Third which runs between north-south Fleta Street on the east and north-south Genesta on the west. Each owner claims title to a plot of ground 135 feet long and 30 feet wide. St. Louis County had never spent any money or labor for the construction of Third at the place in question.
