The defendants-appellants' statement of the issues presented for review is as follows:
The plaintiff-appellee in its answer brief submits the statement of the issues presented for review as follows:
The defendants-appellants' statement of the case is as follows:
The plaintiff-appellee agrees with the statement of the case as presented in the defendants-appellants' brief pp. 3-5 with the following addition:
This is the third time this matter has been before this Court on appeal and in the instant case the appeal is on the rather narrow ground that the trial erred in overruling the additional objections to condemnation.
On September 29, 1969, the trial court held an evidentiary hearing on the defendants' additional objection to condemnation. The trial court reviewed the evidence and on the basis of that evidence and the applicable law overruled the defendants' additional objection to condemnation.
Where there is evidence to support the trial court's judgment that the plaintiff was entitled to exercise the power of *406 eminent domain, the reviewing court will not set aside such judgment. Matlock v. Bloomington Water Company (1925), 196 Ind. 271, 146 N.E. 852.
It has been held many times that all reasonable presumptions are indulged on appeal in favor of the rulings and judgments of the trial court, that the record must exhibit the errors for which the reversal is sought, and that a court of appeals will not presume anything in favor of appellant to sustain his alleged errors. New York Central R. Co. v. Milhiser (1952), 231 Ind. 180, 106 N.E.2d 453, 458.
The judgment of the trial court is affirmed.
Hunter, C.J., Arterburn and Givan, JJ., concur; DeBruler, J., dissents.
