Syllabus

<p>Deed — Plan of lots — Square—Park—Grove—Dedication.</p> <p>A sale oí lots according to a plan on ■which an open square is shown marked “Alliquippa Grove” colored in green, with serpentine paths through it, and an announcement to purchasers that the “grove” had been set apart as a public park, are sufficient to establish a dedication of the grove to public use as a public park. The fact that the word “grove” was used instead of the words “park” or “square” is immaterial. In such a case the lot owners have a standing to enjoin the use of the grove for any other than a public purpose, and they cannot be charged with laches because for a brief time they permitted it to be used for private purposes.</p>
