Downtown Renewal Suit Challenged by Property Owners
Two owners in the city's renewal district challenge the legality of the urban renewal plan and the city’s power of eminent domain. Mr and Mrs John F Mitchell contend the condemnation laws are unconstitutional and that taking their land will not remove slums, only relocate them. They allege city manipulation of land values and arbitrary permit practices, with tenants told to move and publicized claims of a slum. Attorney Cdin B Dodd represents the Mitchells.
