• W2596291292 abstract "One of the unexpected complications of retiring from the practice of law is deciding what to do with certain files that have attained a special place in the retiring lawyer's remembrance. Although most of the files I worked on in the fifty years I practiced law were stored in the firm 's central filing, or, after a certain number of years, were destroyed, a few were so important to me that I kept them in my office. When I retired, I had to decide what to do with those special files. Not surprisingly, I took them home. One of those files was the Whitehaven annexation case.So, when I was asked to write about a significant Memphis trial, I chose a case with which I was personally familiar and for which I had the litigation file available. I chose the Whitehaven annexation case because it was a significant piece of litigation in the city 's history and because, as an assistant city attorney, I represented the City of Memphis in that litigation. I had drafted the pleadings, motions and briefs; attended meetings where the city 's strategy was planned and was one of the lawyers who argued the case for the city in chancery court, the Court of Appeals, and the Tennessee Supreme Court.On March 5, 1968, the Memphis City Council adopted a resolution stating its intent to annex Whitehaven, an unincorporated 18-square-mile area south of the existing Memphis city limit inhabited by 50,000 residents. By an overwhelming majority, the residents of Whitehaven were opposed to being annexed by and becoming a part of Memphis.Officials of the city of Memphis believed that the annexation of Whitehaven was imperative. Many residents there worked in Memphis and enjoyed using the streets, parks, police protection, utilities, and infrastructure of the city but paid no city taxes. Other cities had suffered the suffocating effect of being strangled by a necklace of surrounding municipalities and Memphis wanted to avoid that. It was estimated by David R. Hopper, city comptroller, that revenues resulting to the city from the annexation of Whitehaven in fiscal year 1970-1971 would total $3,342,560, and that costs incurred in preparation for annexation in 1969 and after annexation, in 1970, would be $3,776,117, not including $2,463,277 needed for capital improvements required by the building of new fire and police stations and parks in 1970. But Whitehaven was the fastest growing area of the county and Memphis needed to act before Whitehaven did. If Whitehaven incorporated, Memphis would not be able to annex it. One incorporated municipality could not annex another.Whitehaven, originally a farm community, became a residential suburb in Memphis in the 1950s and '60s. It was roughly bounded by Brooks Road on the north, the Mississippi state line on the south, the ICC Railroad on the west and, on the east, Airways Boulevard.E. W. Hale moved to the area in the 1880s and opened a store near what is now Whitehaven High School on Highway 51. Hale's Store was a landmark for many decades. Hale, who became Shelby County's counterpart to Memphis's E. H. Crump, was Chairman of the County Commission. His son, E. W. Hale, Jr., was Shelby County Attorney and a practicing lawyer in Memphis for many years.In 1926 WREC radio began operations there, and in 1928, Whitehaven's Hoyt B. Wooten was one of the first six television licensees in America.The Whitehaven community takes its name from that of an early settler and major property owner, Colonel Francis White. A plank toll road through what is now Whitehaven was built in 1 852 between Memphis and Hernando, Mississippi. That road became U.S. Highway 51, later Elvis Presley Boulevard, the major traffic route through the community. Colonel White was influential in getting a rail line to come through what was first called White's Station, later White Haven, and then Whitehaven. This 'Tennessee and Mississippi Railroad' was chartered in 1853; the first trains ran in 1856. The first 'White Haven' post office was opened in 1871. …" @default.
