Assume that no cardinal κ < 2ω is quasi-measurable (κ is quasi-measurable if there exists a κ-additive ideal of subsets of κ such that the Boolean algebra P(κ)/ satisfies c.c.c.). We show that for a metrizable separable space X and a proper c.c.c. σ-ideal II of subsets of X that has a Borel base, each point-finite cover ⊆ $$ \mathbb{I} $$ of X contains uncountably many pairwise disjoint subfamilies , with $$ \mathbb{I} $$-Bernstein unions ∪ (a subset A ⊆ X is $$ \mathbb{I} $$-Bernstein if A and X \ A meet each Borel $$ \mathbb{I} $$-positive subset B ⊆ X). This result is a generalization of the Four Poles Theorem (see [1]) and results from [2] and [4].
