City Condemnation Hearings On Switch To Electric Plant
The Purepakt Products Company remonstrance against condemning ground for a city switch to a new electric light plant was heard Monday night and filed. Council set 2 pm Wednesday to assess benefits and damages and adopted a resolution confirming the December 13 appropriation of rights and property for the switch. The canning company argues the city lacks authority to condemn, questions use for railroad traffic, cites no essential necessity, and claims public benefit does not outweigh harms and costs.
