City may mine coal under river beds to ease debt
The Exposition gas well near Pittsburgh remains active as a deeper coal vein is found at 640 feet. F.L. Grubbs of the Well Supply Company argues the city could franchise coal mining under the three river beds by sinking a shaft at the Point, potentially reducing taxes and funding public works without buying mining rights from landowners. He cites a similar project on the Youghiogheny river and notes gas production continues, credited to the Oil Well Supply Company for sustaining operations after the exhibit closed.
