IR Feb. 6, 1902 – Ironton Company. – Petition Court for Permission to Revise Plat. – The Ironton Company filed in Common Pleas Court, Monday evening, a petition to vacate the plat of the Lombard addition, the City of Ironton, and many lot owners being made defendants.
The petition states that in 1891, the addition of Lombard was platted in lots of 25 feet frontage and that the petitioners are the owners of more than two-thirds of said lots. They make an application to vacate the said plat for the following reasons: – The lots have a frontage of only 25 feet, whereas lots with a frontage of 40 feet are more desirable and will find a readier sale in the market, but to sell frontage 40 feet each from an addition, containing lots 25 feet in front would encumber the records of the offices of the county.
The plaintiff, therefore, desires to have said plat vacated so that it may file with the city council a new plat covering the Lombard addition, providing for lots of 40 feet of frontage without changing the location of dedicated streets and alleys. – Among the lot owners who are made parties defendants in the petition are
- E. S. Culbertson, trustee;
- Harry Anson,
- Parmelia Deering,
- A. J. Brumberg,
- The Fearon Lumber Co.,
- John Isaacs,
- W. G. Ward,
- D. C. Davies,
- Lydia Gabler,
- John H. Rhodes,
- Jennie Culbertson,
- Lucy M. Moxley,
- Llewellyn Williams, trustee;
- Roy W. Haney,
- Jane Lambert,
- Henry J. Keiser. – Corn & Thompson and Bannon & Bannon are attorneys for the plaintiffs.
