Contempt penalty for gravel firm nullified by governor
Acting Governor Lawrence E. Wilson issued a proclamation relieving Meriwether Sand and Gravel Co of Lewisville from paying a $50 contempt fine in La Fayette County chancery court. Attorney General Hal L. Norwood says the move bypasses judicial functions and may prompt further action to enforce the court order, as pollution complaints persist and a Supreme Court ruling upheld the injunction.
