Knutson v. City of Centerville

This is an appeal from a judgment granting the petition of the petitioners to exclude a small tract of agricultural land from the corporate limits of the city of Centerville. That the petition is regular and sufficient in all respects is not questioned. The petition was first presented to the city council as required by statute ( sections 6555-6558), and rejected by that tribunal. It was then presented to the circuit court as provided -by the above statutes. The circuit court took evidence and entered judgment of exclusion. From this judgment and an order denying a new trial, the city-appeals.
