BOULEVARD AWARDS.
Only Twelve Appeals on
Nearly a Thousand
Adjudications of
Damages.

So far, twelve property owners have
appealed from the awards that have been
made by the Commissioners of Con-
domination for the new County Beule-
ward. They have brought suits in the
Circuit Court to obtain additional
awards for alleged damages done to their
property. The fact that there have been
but twelve appeals from the judgment Of
the Condemnation Commissioners is a
matter that the Freeholders justly take
pride in.
There have been 977 pieces Of property
condemned for County Road purposes
and 977 awards made by the Commits
sioners of Condemnation, and that but
twelve are unsatisfactory to the owners OF
the condemned lands the Freeholders
claim Is a most excellent showing. These
awards have cost the county more than
S642, 900, aud the total amount OF the
awards appealed from is but $32, 731.70.
1t is believed that should these appeals
be sustained by the Court this amount
( would not be raised to more than $4,000.
an increase of bu5 a tribe more than
SIT, 900. However, the Freeholders do
! not believe the awards will be increased
by the Court, and think that the Coal
will affirm the action of the Commission
ers of Condemnation appointed by Judge
Knapp.
