55 Ark. 618 | Ark. | 1892
As decided in Vogel v. Little Rock, ante p. 609, the question of annexation was properly submitted by the council, more than a month before the annual election, to be voted on at that election.
We think the court was warranted in finding that it was right and proper to annex the lands ordered to be annexed, under rules established by this court in Vestal v. Little Rock, 54 Ark., 321. It appears to have had but little value for country uses and to have had great value for prospective city uses, and was therefore proper for annexation.
The judgment will be reversed, and the cause remanded with directions to permit the petitioner to make such amendments as may be necessary to exclude the land not deemed proper for annexation and to permit remonstrants to resist the petition as amended.
