sSTREETERVlLLE MAY
BECOME OBJECTIVE
IN NEW LITIGATION

OAKLAND, CAL, Dec. 8. (UP)
Mrs. Eva Lane of this city has
announced her intention of going
to Chicago to file claim to have
"Streeterville" Of that city turned
over to her as one Of the right
full heirs.
"Streeterville" comprises an
area of about 1913 acres in Chi
cago, formerly known as the
Gold Coast" and now estimated
to be valued at about $S50,OOO,-
600. -,
The claim. Mrs. Lane declares,
dates back to 1886 when Capt.
George Wellington Streeter
stranded in his schooner off the
shore of Chicago. He built a
breakwater. and the sand filled in
between his ship and the break
water and the shore until the
Gold Coast" was created.
"Ma" Strecter, wife Of the Cap
tain, died few years ago. Mrs.
Lane argues that she and her
brother. DR.. James A. Logan, of
Milwaukee, Wis, are the only le-
citimatc heirs to Captain Street
er's original claims.
Her grandfather, Alonzo Street
er. who died some years ago, was
a first cousin of the original Cap
tain Strcetcr.

final chapter in attempts to Or
ganize opposition to the power
pool. g..
The meeting was called by COL
Harold Fiske, chairman OF the
Chattanooga electric power board,
after President Roosevelt had in
augurated conversations with Com
monwealth G. Southern and other
private utility heads relative TO

plans, spheres Of operation "Quia

orators would be assigned specihc

would be pooled to transmit ener-
gv to consuming centers.
The original agreement be-
tween Commonwealth & Southern
and iva placed Chattanooga in
AN area nj which the private util-
ity operated. Opponents of pow
or pooling had feared that many
cities DESTROYS of contracting for
"yardstick' power would md
themselves in a district designated
for expansion by private firms.
The meeting ended quickly at
ter delegates had heard Rep. John
Rankin, DEM, Miss, characterize
the power pool as an attempt by
private utilities to destroy IVA.
Dempster leaped to his feet.
"This cut-and-dried action would
be an insult to the president Of
the United States" the Knoxville
mayor roared.
"This is an apparent effort to
block the will Of the people. Are
we to say IVA hasn't the brains
to handle the power situation? 49,

Fiske sought to revise the mo-
ton for a luncheon recess but the
delegates stampeded into perma-
nent adjournment. The Chatta-
nooga power director finally asked
the delegates who disagreed with
Dempster to remain in the hall.
But none remained.
