Bid for Strip Mine In
State Forest Denied

The Board OF Fublic Works re-
jected a mine operators request

state forest, this county
j. B. Thrasher, Frostburg, had
sought permission from the state
agency to strip coal lying beneath
177-acre tract of the state forest
in which he has mineral but not
surface rights.
The board said it would not
grant permission for anyone to
strip mine in a state forest or park
until present practices are changed
by law.
1t said these practices involve
leaving open the last cut made in
a stripping operation and default
ing the relatively low bond that is
required to insure that the land
will be restored and replanted.
The boards action was taken
after Comptroller Louis l.. Gold

that strip mining can be per-
formed without harm but that the
present law permits bad practices.
Goldstein said the land inspected
is denuded of trees and that it
would be a shame to cut down
those trees in the state forest.
Thrasher had offered the state
full ownership of a 200-acre tract
in the middle of the forest in re-
turn for letting him exercise his
mineral rights under the tract at
the edge of the forest. He prom
ised to refill and replant any area

permission to strip the coal he
might exercise his legal right to
