WEARE, N.H. (AP) – Town officials say they have not heard anything more from a California man who proposed taking U.S. Supreme Court Justice David Souter’s home for a hotel two weeks ago.

Chip Meany, the town’s code enforcement officer, said Logan Darrow Clements has not followed up on his one-page letter outlining his intention to build a Lost Liberty Hotel on Souter’s property.

Clements said he also would build a Just Desserts Cafe and a museum.

Clements’ letter was in response to a court ruling that said the city of New London, Conn., had the right to take property through eminent domain to make way for a hotel and convention center.

In his majority opinion, Justice John Paul Stevens said the city could take land for private development because of the public benefit of more jobs and revenue. Souter sided with the majority.

Clements said Souter’s land could be claimed for the greater good since a hotel would increase tax revenues.

Selectman Heleen Kurk said the town had no intention of taking Souter’s land.
