the owner of Block two (2) and
three (3), and Lots one ~, two
(2), three 81, four az and five
(5) in Block numbered three (3);
all in the subdivision known as
and called Wildwood Manor, as
per plat recorded in Plat Book 80,
Plat No. 2778, one of the Land
Records of Montgomery County,
Maryland, which property was ac-
quired, with other land, in a deed
from Alvin L. Aubinoe and Dor
othy B. Aubinoe, his wife, dated
the 28th day of January, 1853 and
recorded among the Land Records
for Montgomery County, Maryland
on the 4th day of February, 1853
at 1852 AM. in Liber 1888, folio
269, copy of which is filed there
in as Petitioners Exhibit Az.
That a copy of the original plat
of said subdivision, showing said
property, as recorded in Plat Book
80, Plat PITS, of said Land Rec
ords, is filed therein as Petition
er's Exhibit b..
That the public alley sought to
be abandoned is not in public use,
or in any use whatsoever, and has
never been graded or improved in
any manner to fit it to use by the
public or any use whatsoever, and
cannot be traced upon said prop
erty, although it is shown on said
plat as running in a Northwestern
ly direction from Cheshire Drive
between Blocks two (2) and three
80 and in Northeasterly direc-
ton along the boundary of Block
three 81 containing approximately
1879 square feet.
That the purpose of this pro-
posed abandonment is to permit
the consolidation of Block two (2)
and three (3) into one single tract
and to thereafter permit a re-sub-
division of said property for a
more advantageous use of same.
That it is proposed and petition
ed therein that said alley be en-
tirely abandoned where it runs
Northwesterly from Cheshire Drive
to the Northwestern boundary of
Blocks two (2) and three (3) and
thence in a Northeasterly direction
to Berkshire Drive.
That the petitioner owns all of
the privately owned land contig-
uous to said alley, which consists
of Blocks two (2) and three 81
and the Hand lying Northwest of
said Blocks two (2) and three (3i
and contiguous to said alley.
That the reasons for the aband-
onment of the said portions of the
subdivision, as petitioned, and the
said alleyway, are that the subdi-
vision as originally plated is I'M
desirable and impractical for the
general type of development in
this immediate vicinity and for the
economical development of said
land, and it would be to the ad-
vantage of this petitioner and to
the advantage of the neighboring
property owners to abandon the
said portion of the subdivision, in.
Guiding the public alley, as there
in prayed, and no damage will be
sustained by any person as a re-
suit thereof.
1T is, THEREUPON, this 18th
day of December, 1858, ordered by
the Circuit Court for Montgomery
County, Maryland, in Equity, that
all persons having any interest in,
or effected by, the abandonment CT
the said subdivision of said lots
or public alley, as setforth in the
said petition, appear herein and
show cause, if any they have, why
an order should not be passed as
prayed on or before the 25th day
of January, AID. 1854; providing
a copy of this Order be inserted
in some newspaper published in
Montgomery County, Maryland, for
