Court Refuses Injunction On Dump Site Near Huyetts
The Washington County Circuit Court refused to grant an injunction to stop Hagerstown from using the former Shopp farm near Huyetts as a garbage disposal site. City Attorney Edward Oswald defended the city against a bill filed by Francis H. Urner and Bruce Lightner, with Judge D. K. McLaughlin noting the case resembles a prior dispute over dumping and pig feeding. The judge held the complainants are not yet entitled to an injunction against a prospective nuisance, and the matter may be revisited if proper redress is sought.
