Pa. Grange Protests Highway’s
Unlimited Power To Seize Land
The Pennsylvania State
Grange this week reiterated its
long standing support for good
roads but vigorously protected
key provisions of a bill now in
the State Senate that would give
the Secretary ot Highways un
limited power to seize land by
condemnation even without
proof of need for such action
A statement by State Grange
Master John W Scott that con
formed to testimony he present
ed to the Senate Highways Com
mittee, charged that the propos
ed legislation (HE. 1521) would
give the Highways Department
a “blank check” for land ac
quisition. He conceded a need
for condemnation but urged

that it be restricted specifically
to stated reasons.
Land ownership, Scott declar
ed, “always has been a sovereign
right that has never been abndg
ed unless a need for use in the
public has been proven “To
permit condemnation of land
without such proof and to sell
or exchange it for other land
that may be needed for highway
use would constitute, he warn
ed, ‘a very serious infringement
on a sovereign right of an indi
vidual ”
In some eases, Scott admitted
public benefit might icsult if
the Highways Department could
acquire fee simple land titles,
instead of easement rights as at
present, and “there are times

when the Commonwealth could
benefit from the secretary’s hav
ing the right to sell property.
However, he should not have
the right to acquire a ‘fee sim
ple absolute’ title by condem
nation.”
No objection was raised to
the sale, trade, or lease of land
“acquired by agreement and not
by condemnation ”
Another section of the bill
permitting the Highways Secre
tary” to acquire land and pro
perty up to six years in advance
ot highway constiuction,” the
Grange contended “The Depart
ment should be required to pay
real estate tax to local taxing
authonties from the time of ac
quisition until highway con
stiuction starts Otheiwise, un
due ■ hardship will be imposed
upon school districts, local
municipalities, and counties.
They will be depuved of the
tax base and still not have the
economic benefit that eventual
ly may denve from new high
