Suit settlement and stadium use approved in Deer Park
The School Board discussed a prolonged suit with Scheffe Construction over unfinished water proofing after a $3,000 holdout. Negotiations failed, and a suit was filed two years prior. The board approved using the auxiliary stadium by Deer Park Little League Football for the 1971 season, following prior permissions for 1969 and 1970 seasons at the Rams' request by Ralph W. Shock.
