Squotter Goes to Court
Over 81 Million Tract

Mr.. Stevenson asserted his
squatter's rights to the world
last June by filing suit in Com
mon Pleas Court to have him
self declared legal owner of
the marsh. His action came
when he found out the Rede-
velopment Authority did not
recognize him as legal owner.
He is claiming the oldest
concept in Anglo-Saxon law
that of adverse possession,
which means occupancy with
out permission of the owner for
at least 81 years.
Mr.. Stevenson declares he
moved onto the property in
1928 and held it in actual,
continuous, exclusive, visible,
notorious, distinct and hostile
adverse possession as to all the
world for a period of 81 years
and it is his. He asks the court
/ to declare him the owner and
to void all deeds and mort
cages.
| Elias H. Stein, the title and
deed-holder, denies Mr.. Steven
son occupied the property for
81 years. He says Mr.. Steven
son was a tenant or treSpaSser
and recognized others as hav-
ing a superior title to the land.

Harold Stevenson, ST. He says
that for 81 years he squatted
on 81 acres of then worthless
marShland in the Eastwick
section. Because of redevelop-
ment the value of the property
now is estimated at about 81
million.
About a year ago the Phila-
delphia Redevelopment Au-
thority condemned the "a acres.
Most of the land is part of the
huge Eastwick redevelopment
project, but parts of it are
in nearby Delaware County
and can be used for private
development.
The tract is about a quarter
mile across the industrial high
way from International Airport
and is near the new multi
million-dollar plant of the Scott
Paper Co.
Mr.. Stevenson's lawyer, Law
renee j. Richette, says the
going price for the land in the
Iarea now is $4,000 to $4,000
an acre.
