Horn v. City of Minneapolis

Plaintiff appealed from a judgment.

In 1889 plaintiff’s grantor conveyed certain lands in the city of Minneapolis to the city for park and parkway purposes. A portion of the consideration was paid by exempting plaintiff’s land adjacent to the lands conveyed from assessments to the extent of $48,000. The lands conveyed became a part of Minnehaha Parkway, which then reached from Lake Harriet to Lyndale avenue.

In 1921 Lynnhurst Field, in the neighborhood of plaintiff’s property, was acquired, and plaintiff’s property was assessed therefor in the sum of $3,192.30, of which plaintiff paid $1,265.91.
