Commenting from Elsewhere

The often inscrutable workings of Blogger prevented Sam Pratt from making a comment on this blog, so he put his comment on his own blog: "Full circle."

  1. Sam.com, post on this ,is truly fascinating stuff.
    This is a very interesting back story on this deed..I call ,"the who's on first deed", of this Holcim mess, as City Att.Robert's big claim that if the land that is "Clean" we are buying were contaminated,then the former owners would be held liable, to clean it up. Since Holcim is selling it..as is where is...and ST. LAWRENCE CEMENT COMPANY is Holcim (US)Inc.,
    then that would put the CITY OF HUDSON
    first in line as the previous owners
    and WE could be held liable to clean up the land we sold for $1.00 in 1981 to St.Lawrence Cement Co.( Holcim(US)Inc.),that WE are buying back in exchange for 50 yrs. of "conditions "from Holcim(US)Inc.

    Something must be up with that land,since Lone Star Cement Corp.
    dumped it on CITY OF HUDSON for $1.00 for their "Conditions" in 1969.
