No. 55314.

203 N.W.2d 629 (1973)

CITY OF DECORAH, Iowa, Appellee, v. Annie S. PETERSON et al., Appellants.

Supreme Court of Iowa.

January 17, 1973.


Attorney(s) appearing for the Case

Strand & Anderson, Decorah, for appellants.

Thomas C. Lynch, Decorah, for appellee.

Heard before MOORE, C. J., and LeGRAND, REES, UHLENHOPP and HARRIS, JJ.


LeGRAND, Justice.

This is still another case in which municipal anxiety to provide adequate room for anticipated growth is matched against the dogged determination of outlying landowners to remain beyond the city's boundaries. We affirm the trial court's judgment that the city, having substantially complied with the relevant provisions of chapter 362, The Code, 1966, is entitled to annex approximately 960 acres adjacent to its present borders.
