treatment plant is located
A complicated legal pro

The dispute is over free
sewer hook ups allegedly
granted in exchange for the
sale of 6 2 acres of land for
a sewer treatment plant in
Welches, near the junction
of Bright Avenue and Ar-
rah Wanna Boulevard
The land was sold to
American Guaranty Lafe,
the owners of the Rippling
River Resort, by W B. and
H
Dorothy P a rk e r of
Salem in February, 1977,
for $12,500
A ccording to Nelson
Walker, one of the at
torneys handling the case
for the service district, the
Parkers claim when they
sold the land to American
G uaranty the company
agreed to allow them a
number of free hook-ups to
the sewer treatment plant
At that time the service
district had not been form
ed and American Guaranty
was considering building
its own treatment plant

ship of the land should

are also claiming the land
is worth more than $25,000
It was agreed that the
property be purchased by
the service district a few
years ago for $25,000, but it
has not been technically
purchased, said Walker.
He said American Guaran
ty can't insure a clear title
to the county until the
dispute is settled by the
courts No money has thus
far changed hands between
the service district and

Walker said the county
will not lose its nght to
ownership of the property
because of the initiation of
the condemnation pro
ceedings The only issue to
tie resolved is the amount
of money to be paid for the
property
Even though the county
constructed the plant, the
Parkers are claiming the
service district is bound by
