Who Owns the Fair Ground in Corry Will Be Decided
The Federal Works Agency has selected the North Corry plot for a defense housing project and will condemn the property at a price set by appraisers. Ownership disputes linger since the 1920s when Corry School District bought it for 15 000 dollars but defaulted on installments. Tax revenue of over 2 000 dollars may be recovered if the court sustains the district. The Erie county court is expected to fix ownership and address related questions amid a 16 year dispute.
