Mavericks Park Grayburg Seeks Take Protest Scene
An old lawsuit from June 11, 1828, was revived in Forty first District Court as Maverick Park Grayburg Oil Co seeks extra time to move its plant outside city limits. Judge Tayloe set a July 11 hearing to show cause why the extension should not be granted. The company argues the move is financially blocked by a collapsed stock market and bond funding issues, risking a $100,000 monthly payroll and expenditures if the plant shuts now. Odors have diminished, and the firm pledges to relocate by May 1, 1933 if delay is allowed.
