Cedar Falls man owns portion of 29th Street assistant for 12 Cancer service a brothers, of 1715 Gardens Blessed Olivet the By Staff Writer CEDAR FALLS Because of a mix-up in 1966, a Cedar Falls man owns half of a fourblock stretch of a city street and the access along the side of the street. And now, taxpayers in Cedar Falls and Black Hawk County are going to find themselves in the unusual position of trying to buy back part of a street and access they thought they owned all the time.

LEONARD DAVIS, counselor at the University of Northern Iowa, says he started out simply to buy a plot of land for his garden. But because of a mistake in the description of the land, he soon realized he had bought half of 29th Street, located south of University Avenue, southeast of UNI. In addition. he had purchased about 15 feet of access along the four-block street. He bought the land in a tax sale carried out by Black Hawk County, and it was the land description offered in that sale which caused the problem, city officials say.

But the county was not solely to blame for the error. city officials admit. The description of the prop- He said the city and county erty was sent to Cedar Falls had been attempting to officials before the sale in purchase the land 1966, but no one here noticed months." but the situation they were actually selling was brought to a head when part of a street.

The mayor said he hopes to be able to convince EPA officials that the proposed Rath contract is equitable for the company and the city. EPA officials have reportedly withheld the federal funds because they feel the proposed fee for Rath is not in proportion to the sewage which originates from the plant. The federal agency bases its authority to withhold the funds on grounds the government contributes a large share in expansion of the water pollution control plant here.
