Harrington v. City of Keokuk

The legal questions presented to us are whether a properly worded notice of appeal in a condemnation proceeding brought under chapter 472 of the 1962 Code and sent by United States registered mail to the clerk of defendant-city and to the sheriff of the county, met jurisdictional requirements, and whether this type of service of notice complies with and satisfies the provisions of sections 472.18 and 472.19 of the Code and rule 56, Rules of Civil Procedure.
