George c. Underhill of Rutland, as
receiver of the Columbian Marble
company, has brought suit in Rutland
county court against the Rutland
Railroad company to recover $14, 900.
The Rutland road owns strip of land |
/ 900 feet long and 40 wide on the |
north side of it's track adjoining on the
south property formerly owned by the
Columbian concern. This land was
leased by the marble company, the
agreement being that it was to be
improved as payment for the rental.
Since the Columbian company became
defunct the railroad leased the land to
the Green Mountain Marble company,
which now operates the plant the
Columbian formerly had. Suit is
brought to recover the cost of the
| improvements.
