1Opinion of the CourtGerrard, J.

The City of Gretna sits entirely within the borders of Sarpy County, Nebraska. Pursuant to two municipal ordinances, Gretna purported to annex sections of two state highways which extend from Gretna’s borders. Sarpy County filed suit, claiming that Gretna was without authority to annex the land. The district court determined that Sarpy County lacked standing to bring the action and sustained Gretna’s demurrer. The question on appeal is whether Sarpy County has standing to contest the allegedly unlawful annexations.
