Court Order Clears Power Lines Blockage Near San Antonio
Southwestern Bell Telephone crews hold access to four acres owned by Mr. and Mrs. S. Z. Skinner after Judge Jack Roberts issued a temporary restraining order and set Jan 20 for an injunction hearing. The company says an easement exists since 1804 and Skinner blocked repairs after a garage apartment was built beneath power lines. A metal weather vane atop the building allegedly touched the lines causing a short circuit.
