Who Owns Land
Is Moot Question

Ownership Of a part OF the
PIP & L storage yard Is q moot
point In Kennewick this week,
with both the city and the power
company believing themselves 70
be the legal owners.
The issue came up as crews OF
the Goergig and Russell firm Be
gan to near the storage yard with
excavations for the new Beech
Street trunk sewer line.
A portion Of the land oc.,.~:..s
by the yard shows on city maps
as street that has never been va
Gated, and investigations by en-
gineers ted to support to the
city's title to the land.
Burden Of proof Of ownership
will now be placed on the PP&sL.,
city officials said. Unless the
powr company can show evidence
to the contrary, the land is own.
ed by the city.
George Cloud, PIP & L store
keeper, told councilmen on Aug
ust "A that running the ditch
through the yard would be an
expensive operation. Much heavy
and hreplaceable equipment must
be moved, he said, the fence
must be cut and left open until
that portion Of the lire Is COM
plete, and watchmen must be en-
ployed to- guard the premises.
Probably q heavier A-frame
than that owned by the company
win be required to move the
equipment Cloud said, and it &
rented at SO an hour. Labor
costs would run about SIS an
hour, be estimated.
The matter has been referred
to the street COMMITTEES OF the
council.
