Zion City real estate boom under Dowie stalls before crowds
Elijah Dowie with 500 lots under lease seeks rent revenue surpassing 150000 as followers buy little in Zion City. Dowie renounces foreign allegiance and declares US citizenship, paying a fifty cent fee. A tent ceremony at Shiloh Park draws about 2000 attendees, far short of hopeful 20000. He tours Zion City and files for US citizenship at Lake County Clerk’s office while the British flag flies above the US flag.
