As reports the Morning Star (5/8), the organizations have filed suit against L.B.M. Industries, a rock quarry operator with property adjacent to the river. The company claims that since it owns the land on either side of the river, that it owns the waterway as well, and has blocked public access to that section. The organizations claim that the company violated federal and state law by not allowing access to public waterways. The company plans to vigorously fight the suit." janet lowry, houston *************************************************************************** PaddleWise Paddling Mailing List - All postings copyright the author and not to be reproduced outside PaddleWise without author's permission Submissions: paddlewise_at_lists.intelenet.net Subscriptions: paddlewise-request_at_lists.intelenet.net Website: http://www.paddlewise.net/ ***************************************************************************
