City wins power to condemn land for parking
Superior Court Judge Ralph E Hoyt ruled the City of Hayward may condemn the Harden property on Foothill Boulevard for off street parking. The ruling overruled Harden attorney Burnsteins demurrer and allows the condemnation suit filed October 27 to proceed. Burnstein said he will appeal to the District Court. The decision centers on whether the city can condemn property outside its limits without a special parking district. Appraisals for a 13 acre section opposite Hayward High School will be sent to homeowners within a week or ten days.
