“can be established by the method of platting and public dedication alone . . . .”
2 later decisions quote this exact passage“"Dedications of land for public purposes are of two kinds: First, statutory; and, second, implied or dedications at common law. All that is required to make an implied dedication is the assent of the owner and the use of the premises for the purposes intended by the dedication, for the reason that the law considers the acts of the owner as an estoppel in pais, and precludes him from revoking the dedication. So, where land is platted into streets, lots, and blocks, and the lots are sold according to the plat, the dedication is complete as a common-law or implied dedication, although some of the requirements of the statute have not been observed.””
1 later decision quote this exact passage“Equity will recognize and enforce the mutual and reciprocal rights involved.”
