Winchester Court Upholds City Quarry Lease Action
Judge Philip Williams rejected Henry Bell's bid to nullify Winchester's quarry lease to Stewart Perry. The ruling sides with the city’s charter allowing buy and sell property and characterizes the lease as a temporary sale. Bell’s attorneys pledged an appeal as the council’s lease terms hold at 15 cents per ton for the first 100 tons and 10 cents thereafter with 30 days’ revocation notice.
