> LITTLE ROCK, Ark. - The city of Little Rock has filed a
> condemnation lawsuit against a landowner who has vowed to defend
> his property from being cleared for Bill Clinton's presidential
> library.
>
> Eugene Pfeifer III has been an outspoken critic of the means by
> which the city is financing the purchase of 27.7 acres for Mr.
> Clinton's library near the downtown River Market area.
>
> The city filed the condemnation suit Friday in an attempt to take
> over Mr. Pfeifer's vacant building that once housed May Supply
> Co.
>
> "He wants his day in court, which he's entitled to," said Deputy
> City Attorney Stephen Giles, who's handling the case.
>
> Mr. Pfeifer was out of town, and his attorney did not immediately
> return a call Saturday.
>
> The city has appraised Mr. Pfeifer's property at $400,000 and is
> asking Pulaski County Circuit Judge John Plegge to approve the
> price and grant the condemnation.
>
> Mr. Pfeifer's property is one of three parcels that the city does
> not yet own in the library area.
>
> The city board of directors is to vote Tuesday on the sale price
> of property that now houses Consolidated Pipe and Supply Co.
>
> The third parcel, the former Choctaw Railroad Station, is listed
> on the National Register of Historic Places. The city condemned
> that property but could not agree on a price and is to go to
> court Nov. 23 for a jury trial.
>
> Mr. Pfeifer helped lead the opposition to the city's recently
> failed sales tax proposal for streets, parks and other projects.
>
> He called it was a backdoor attempt to replace park revenues that
> are being used to pay off a $16.4 million bond issue that partly
> benefits the Clinton library.
>
> Civic leaders say the library will be good for the city's
> economy.
>
> "The presidential library will be of great benefit to Little
> Rock," said Mayor Jim Dailey. "I think you will see the city
> prosper from the visitors who will come here to see the
> president's legacy."
>
> The library will be within walking distance of the expanded
> Statehouse Convention Center, the Museum of Discovery (an
> interactive children's museum) and the Old State House, where Mr.
> Clinton announced that he would run for president in 1991 and
> accepted his election victories in 1992 and 1996.
