All of the annexations in this case were based on the authority of City of Tuskegee v. Lacey, 486 So.2d 393 (Ala. 1985), not on the authority of City of Dothan v. Dale CountyComm'n, 295 Ala. 131, 324 So.2d 772 (1975). I am of the opinion that (except for the one annexation approved) the properties annexed were not contiguous; as I understand the facts, the city attempted to meet the "contiguity" requirement in those annexations only by using a public way, which the law does not permit.
