Turnpike Suit Still In Doubt
Judge Frank L. Taylor studied whether the State Turnpike Commission can be sued in a $30,000 damage claim by Hope Natural Gas Co. over gas line reconstruction after a Cabin Creek slide in Kanawha County. Attorneys argued the agency is not liable, while Hope asserted the commission is an independent entity not binding the state faith. Chesapeake and Ohio Railway also has a repair claim but was not a party.
