and also being on the easterly
right-of-way line of Maine Ave-
nue., as per plat recorded in Plat
Book A, Plat SO (capied from
Liber J. A. II at 457), thence with
said easterly right-of-way line of
Maine Avenue and along the west
line of said Lot IS, S-45-15-00-E,
1900 feet to the south west cor
ner of Lot Is, thence along the
southerly outline of said Perkins
& Burrows Addition to Linden,
S-82-20-10-W, 56.79 feet to the
south easterly corner of Lot q,
Block 4, Perkins & Burrows Ad-
dition to Linden as per Plat Book
| A, Plat So, thence with the east
erly line of said Lot u and with
the westerly right-of-way of
! M aine Avenue, N-45-15-00-W,
1926 feet to the north east cor
ner of said Lot 81, said point also
being on the south right-of.way
line of Michigan Avenue and also
being on the west right-of-way
line of Maine Avenue, thence
with the said south right-of-way
line of Michigan Avenue,
| N-44-45-00-E, $500 feet to the
point of beginning. Containing
1887 square feet.
| That said land be abandoned by
decree as a dedicated street and
be decreed free from any public
right, claim, title and use and be
vacated so as to revert to the
abutting landowners in fee SIM
pie free from any claim or right
of the public.
The petition states that the pc
| titioners are the record owners
of Lot d in Block 4 of said sub
division, which adjoins and abuts
on the west side of Maine Ave
nue.. That said portion of the dedi-
Gated street has never at any
time been used as a public paved
street.
The petition also states that
there is another plat of same
subdivision recorded in Plat Book
| A, at Plat SO which shows no
such extension of Maine Avenue
between the said Lots 25 and 81
in Block 4. But said Plat SO shows
that portion of Maine Avenue,
here sought to be abandoned, as
being included within an enlarged
Lot q in Block 4.
The petition further states that
it would be to the benefit of the
petitioners and the owners of
said Lot 25, the petitioner and
the owners of Lot Is being the
only abutting landowners, to have
the same abandoned and revert
in fee simple to said AUDITING
landowners, as their interest may
appear, and that it would not adj
versely affect any property other
than Lot q, owned by the petit
toners, and Lot 25, owned by Ed
ward P. Young and his wife,
Marie Young.
That the consents of the neces-
sary governmental agencies and
the said Youngs will be filed in
due time.
1T is THEREFORE, this 7th
day of August, 1857 ordered by
the Circuit Court for Montgom-
cry County, sitting as Court of
Equity, that all persons who have
any interest in or are affected
by the abandonment of that por-
ton of Maine Avenue as described
above, appear herein and show
cause if any they have, why a de-
cree should not be passed as
prayed on or before the End day
of September next; PROVIDED,
a copy of this order be inserted
in some newspaper published in
Montgomery County for two sue
cessive weeks before the second
