Chairman Committee on Opening Streets
Report adopted.
The committee on opening streets, to
which was referred the communication
from the trustees of the Hebrew cemetery
| lot, asking city authorities to condemn
certain portion of said cemetery lot for
the purpose of opening Wilson street and
compensation for same, recommend that
the sum of twelve hundred and fifty dol
lars be paid to said trustees in notes Of
one two and three years pro rata, at five
per cent. per annum upon proper titles
for all their claim to opening Wilson
street being made to the city, the opinion
of city attorney being submitted with this
report George A. Hudson,
Chairman Committee on Opening Streets.
Report adopted.
The following is the opinion referred
to in the above report:
Savannah, Dec. 20, 1S95.-Alderman Geo.
a. Hudson, Chairman Committee on
Opening Streets, City.-Dear Sir: With
reference to the petition of the trustees
of the Hebrew cemetery for compensa-
ton for land claimed by them and now
used by the public as a part of Wilson
street, beg to say that I find that they
have paper title to the land claimed, and
that this land amounts to 1880 square
feet, exclusive of encroachments, this being
the number of square feet claimed by
them in their communication to the CITY
of Oct. p, 1895. In the ejectment suit
brought by the trustees against Francis
Grimm and others in our superior court
a survey was made under an order of the
court, passed Feb. 20, 1875, by the county
surveyor, and map was prepared and
filed in accordance with this order, which
was sustained in the superior court, and
which found that these trustees had the
legal title to the land now claimed nv
them. l think the finding was correct
You will understand, however that the
city of Savannah was not a. party to this
litigation.
The city maps, published prior to the
present map, recognize this land as be-
longing to the Hebrew CONGREGATION Ac-
corning 10 tne present city map, prepar-
ed in 1888, this land is put down as part
of Wilson street. In view of the long use
by the public of the land, and its official
Tecoghluon by the last map as part of
Wilson street, l think that it will probably
be held that the public have a good pre-
scrptive right to the use of the land: but
as TO this; can not say that l am en-
tirely confident. l am clear, after a care
ful consideration of the matter, that the
legal title is in the trustees according to
the deeds and that in a suit thew Womb
prevail unless it is held that they have
lost their right by prescription and hv
non-user on their part. Ali things CON
sidered, if a reasonable and probable com
promise could be made, l submit that it
would be better to avoid litigation with
the trustees.
l beg to return the petition to the citv
of Oct % 1885, which was referred to me
on the 10th inst. Yours very truly.
Saml b. Adams.
City Attorney.
