Pioneer cannot regain land he sold to government
U S Supreme Court declined to review a case by La Porte contractor Ore Meurrism who sought to reclaim 143 acres sold to the government during World War I. The land helped establish San Jacinto Junior College and a second 141 acres was auctioned for 162,100 dollars for a future residential project. The college received its portion and plans proceed despite Meurrism’s lingering suit.

Freeway Land Price Dispute Over 12 Acre Tract
A Texas county debate centers on relocating tracks for a La Porte freeway project. Tenneco Chemical would sell 12 acres on its ship channel property for a rail relocation, with the county prepared to spend up to 1.6 million for land and related costs. The three special commissioners ruled on the fair value, while railroad attorneys contend the offered 72,000 for the 13 acres is inadequate. A decision on appeals must be made within 20 days by the railroad or Tenneco after county talks.
