Solomon Files Petition Reply in Wampum School Case
New Castle Wampum property owners seeking to oust the borough school board must appeal auditor reports within 45 days, said Solicitor Joseph Solomon in reply to residents. He filed preliminary objections as residents failed to name responsible directors and noted actions by the Joint Wampum Big Beaver Two School Board from July 21, 1952 to July 1, 1961. He argued notice should have gone to each director and that he should not be required to reply for them.
