F. Edwards of the State Racing Commission saitS today a temporary permit has been granted for a half-mile oval near Hurricane on U. S. Route 60, about miri-way between here and Charleston.The pern It was issued to Nicholas J. Tweel and associates of Huntington. Tweel said previously that he had plans for a two million dollar horse-racing plant.Edwards said that under a near law passed by the 1953 Legislature, anyone wanting an election on whether to allow the track to oper-2 toi pet U t u petition la filed in proper form, the commi*-sion must set an election.Should the public vote down the track, it cannot be built. But, said Edwards, if no one seeks an election, Tweel and his group will receive a permanent permit at the end of the 60-day waiting period.Earlier this year. Tweel failed to gam exemption from the new law. In an appeal to the Supreme Court, he argued that the track project had been launched before the law was passed and that the law was not retroactive.The State Supreme Court ruled against him and the U. S. Supreme Court refused to consider the case.There has been determined opposition to the track from clerical groups in Kanawha, Cabeil and Putnam countiei.
