Overhead bridge plan blocks coal company's railroad project
Judge Archbold rules the Mount Pleasant Coal Company cannot cross the railroad with an overhead belt conveyor structure without consent from the Delaware, Lackawanna and Western railroad. The court cites a 99 foot right of way and a 1898 act forbidding construction on railroad banks or crossings without written permission. The bill is dismissed with costs.
