BARFIELD, C. J.
When a public entity has acquired an easement for a street right-of-way, with the fee title to the center of the street remaining in the owners of the property abutting each side of the dedicated street, one owner of abutting property cannot acquire fee simple title to the other owner's half of the dedicated street by adverse possession. See Waterman v. Smith, 94 So. 2d 186 (Fla. 1957).
Affirmed.
