Injunction Sought Over Near Surface Coal Vein Threatening Park Homes
Robert H Hurley of North Park Scranton seeks court action to bar the Delaware and Hudson Canal Company from mining coal from a first vein under his land. He warns mining endangers twenty four North Park lots, including a dwelling valued at about 95000, as surface ground already caved. Civil Engineer J H Rittenhouse backs the danger, noting veins lie almost at the surface with little rock cover and that mining could collapse the area. The case raises the companys rights to mine coal beneath property and awaits final hearing.
