San Francisco Stadium Deal Hinges On Giants Home Pact
The San Francisco board approves financing for a major stadium, contingent on the Giants signing a 35 year lease and playing there for that period. Giants president Horace Stoneham verbally backs the 35 year condition amid four million from Chicago insurers. City plans 10 million dollars ownership plus 3.5 million from actor Charles Harmey and 2 million from Continental Casualty and Continental Insurance. A taxpayers suit threatens to block the deal as a bad financial move, while 3 million bond funds and eminent domain pave the site for a 77.2 acre park set to open for the 1959 season.
