Dedications by deed of property to a village and later to a city, for the uses of a public park, are revoked, where there was no acceptance, either formal or by user, and the intention not to accept was shown by the levy and collection of taxes by the city and the property was finally sold at a tax foreclosure sale.</p> <p>Same — Conditions — Acceptance — Necessity. A dedication by deed to a city for a public park, with conditions requiring action by the city, does not become effective until accepted by the city.</p>
