Venezuela seeks annulment and receiver for Bermudez asphalt deal
Venezuela's attorney general petitions annulment of the Hamilton lease with Horace R. Hamilton and the New York and Bermudez Company. He requests a court decree to dissolve the contract, seek damages, and appoint a receiver to seize the mine at Guanos and related facilities pending final court action. The case hinges on exclusive asphalt rights and failure to canalize rivers as required by the 1883 84 concessions.
