Steel Trust Wins Suit Over Indiana Land Condemnation
The United States Steel corporation won a ruling in federal court deciding the condemnation case against Valentius Veeder in Crown Point. The matter involved land near Gary bought for railroad yard construction by Chicago based interests seeking $2,500 an acre. Judge Anderson found both parties were Illinois citizens, so the case remains in state court. The dispute centers on the consolidation history of Chicago Lake Shore and Eastern with Chicago and Blue Island.
