Authority to acquire property
Applied in 3 court decisions — leading case Luttrell v. City of Conway (1999)
Most recently applied in Lamar Advantage Holding Co. v. Arkansas State Highway Commission (March 2007)
Acts 1953, No. 419, § 1; A.S.A. 1947, § 76-532.
Court decisions citing this, by year. The dip in the last several years is a data-coverage gap, not a real trend — our corpus holds fewer opinions from the most recent years, so recent citations are undercounted.
