ROAD GRASS
NOT PUBLIC'S
Attorneys Say Produce by
Roadside Belongs to
Property Owner

Every year the question arises, to
whom does asparagus growing outside
the fence line in the road right of way
belong? In reply to a request of a
local farmer Moulton & Jeffrey have
rendered the following opinion:
Relative to your request for an
opinion as to the respective rights of
abutting land owners and their posi-
ton in and to the use of dedicated
streets, we wish to advise that it has
become the settled rule in this state
that the public has only an easement
Of use in a public street or highway
and that the fee rests in the abutting
land owner.
Wherever this rule obtains, the own
er of abutting property may make use
of the land within the highway as will
not interfere with its use for public
travel. 1t is our opinion that where
you have dedicated a plat of ground
formerly used for farming purposes
and there are fruit trees left in the
dedicated streets, unquestionably the
owner of the abutting property has
the right to enjoy the use of the trees
so long as the same does not interfere
with the use of the highway by the
public. This would also be true as to
such crops as asparagus as might
grow along the highway outside of the
property line fence and it would seem
to US that an abutting owner who
seeds the highway to alfalfa and ir-
rigates and cares for the same would
be entitled to maintain an action for
trespass against anyone interfering
with such a use, unless that use in
terferred with the public use Of the
highway. The fact that such a per-
son might obtain permission from the
Board of County Commissioners would
in no wise affect his rights in the mat
ter other than to estop the Board of
Commissioners from Directing to
such use Of the highway.
CHuouuteuiy There Is any OF your
asparagus growing in the highway adj
joining your property, you have the
right to cultivate, harvest and market
it SO long as such use does not in
terfere with public travel, and the in
reference by any person with such
use would be trespass on your
property, for which you could main
tain an action for damages.
