The opinion

Pettit, J.

I do not concur in this opinion. I do not think a man takes a fee simple in land not covered by and *197 included in his deed on its face. If an owner of a lot in a city may have an action for incumbering a street adjoining, it is not because he is the owner of the fee simple to the center of the street.
