[edit] Moving of town

I fact-tagged

The town of Gilbert was actually moved for the pit.

But maybe i should have done {{vague}} instead or as well:

  1. Were the town's legal boundaries changed?
  2. Were all, or most of the residents relocated?
  3. Were the homes of those relocated transported to new sites?
  4. If not, were demolitions of buildings compensated with unencumbered cash, with new houses built by the mine owners, or with money that could only be spent on new homes?

One would hope that the ref would make this clear, and if not, the ambiguity must be made explicit and explained.
