FORT PAYNE SUES LAND COMP ANY FUR
 PARK OWNERSHIP
City Claims Four Parks Dedi- cated To Municipality Long
 Time Ago

FORT PAYNE, Ala, July 21.-(Spe cial.) of the equity division of circuit court have been busy re- gently taking testimony in the famous suit between the city of Fort Payne and the Fort Payne company, the municipality seeking to compel the company to show title to four parks of Fort Payne. The city is seeking to show that the original industrial and promoting company of this sec tton, the Fort Payne Coal and Iron company, laid off and dedicated for public use four parks located at va rious points in Fort Payne. One of these parks, Union park, located in the center of town. was developed by the parent company and contains many beautiful and expensive shade trees.
 While there have not been any of ficial papers unearthed to show thet the original company deeded these parks to the city, the municipality Is seeking to show that, in placing these parks oh their maps and selling lots the company constituted an act of dedication, and claims that the contention has been upheld by the supreme court in similar instances. Suit Three Years old.
 The suit of the city was begun three years ago when the present owners of the Fort Payne company announced the sale of some lots In Union park. After looking into the matter the city officials decided to assert themselves and took formal possession of the park, later entering suit to compel the company to show it's title of pos session. The matter has been pend ing in the courts since that time.
 The original Fort Payne company was a holding company for the Ala bama State Land company, which ac- quired the property of the Fort Payne Coal and Iron company, at re- ceivers sale and all property was held intact until local and New York peo- pie bought the holdings several years ago. Since that time most of It has been sold.
 The park property In Fort Payne seems to have been included in the deeds in each transaction of these companies and taxes and sidewalk assessments have been paid by the various owners, according to the statement of the officials of the present company.
 Evidence being gathered by the from old residents of Fort Payne and the various maps and plats showing the parks and their location. Should the case be decided in favor of the city, the municipality would acquire four parks. named as follows: Union spring Grove, Manitou and Manitour Cave park, the latter containing the famous Manitou cave. extending for more than a mile underneath Lookout mountain, and rivaling Mammoth cave in extent and beauty.
