Syllabus

<p>Dedication — Peat—Construction—Revocation by Supplemental Plat. Where an owner of land, in dedicating an addition to a city, filed a plat designating his south boundary^ as the center line of a street sixty-six feet wide, when in fact the street and lots as staked out diverged from such boundary line, the lots being 33 feet from the line of the street at one corner and 44 feet distant at the lots in question, the excess is part of the street and is not to be added to the lots where the plat describes the streets as sixty-six feet in width; and the owner cannot, after acceptance of the plat, show a contrary intention or alter the dedication by the filing of a supplemental plat.</p> <p>Boundaries — Evidence—’Sufficiency. Evidence of one purchasing a lot according to the recorded plat, that she saw a stake at one corner of the block, is not sufficient to show a corner at variance with the plat where the stake was not identified in any way.</p>
