Jury Awards Six Cents Damage
Six cents damage was awarded by
jury i'm Superior Court here to
Henry G. and Lewis B. Graves, bro
theirs, against the Lewes Sand Com
pany for 5000 tons of sand alleged
to have been taken by the defend
ants from what is known as the
sand dunes" and sand hills" be-
tween Lewes Beach and the site of
the old Henlopen Lighthouse.
Commissioners of Lewes in 1917
leased a strip of the sand dunes
to the Lewes Sand Company, then
headed by the late William I.Ofland.
In 1886, a strip was leased to the
Graves Brothers, the former resi-
dent of Georgetown, and the latter
of Lewes. The brothers claimed that
the Lewes Sand Company encroach-
ed on the plot they had leased and
removed approximately 5000 TONS
which represented an average pro-
fit to the brothers of about 25 cents
per ton.
Judge Frank L. Speakman. sitting,
gave binding instructions to the jury
to return the verdict.
An appeal to the State Supreme
Court is to be taken by the Lewes
Sand Company.
