Chairman Gasch Still Unable to Preside

yesterday afternoon in regular session.
Chairman Gasch was not present and the
business that came up was transacted by

damages $500. He specified that the
amount of land vacated Injured him in the
sum of 81 100; that. by reason of the vaca-
ton, the value of the rest of his property
had deprecated to the extent of 81 500. and
he claimed further damage of 81 900 for
changes made in private roadway. The
viewers found that the private
road" spoken of cost the claimant
not to exceed $50. and they decided
the whole claim was preposterous. They
found that the cutting of county road
through the claimants property would
take away from the claimant 2S5 acres of
land; and acknowledging the land to be
worth SO an acre they allowed him in full,
$50 damages.
