Condemnation Postponed in Westminster Water Rights Case
WESTMINSTER May 17 Condemnation in the water rights dispute over the old Roop Mill has been postponed until July as the State Roads Commission filed additional plats. The mill at Taneytown road outside Westminster, built in 1797 and operated by John D Roop, faces loss of water power if the bypass proceeds. Roop notes some milling continues when water power is available and a test milling of graham flour shows equipment remains sound. The commission has offered a nominal settlement for land and water rights valued at about 25 000.
