A HIGH PRICE.
The Gulf Shore Pays Dearly for
Right-of-Way.

Inc ouII Shore rays Dearly Tor
Right-of-Way.
Wash Tong, Stephen Seffel and
John Scherer, who were appointed
commissioners to condemn two
lots on the corner of Dawson and
Eda streets, belonging to the San
Antonio Milling company, for
right-of-way of the San Antonio
and Gulf Shore, and assess dam
ages, have made their report.
The amount allowed the milling
company is $4,000, of which $1,40O
are for the lots and $1,000 for dam
ages to property across the street.
Captain Davis of the Gulf Shore,
in speaking of the decision, said to
reporter for the LIGHT this after
noon: "These lots were assessed by
Mrs. q. Kampmann in 1893 at 5000
and by the San Antonio Milling
company at $500 each.
"The property owners never even
gave the railroad company credit
for increased value of their proper
ty in the way Of transportation
facilities. The railroad company
has paid for right-of.way from 800
per acre to $15 for land that a crow
would starve on il he didn't carry
his KNAPP sackwith him. Where
the railroad company could not
agree with the land owners and
appealed to the courts they had to
pay double the amount of the
value of land and costs besides.
In three cases where the commits.
sioners took one day to examine
the land to be condemned the cost
was $3.50, which the company had
to pay in addition to the outrage
Gus price of the land. Judging by
experiences we've had in procuring
right-of-way, my advice to other
railroad companies that contem-
plate coming to San Antonio
would be to obtain traffic arrange
ments on mileage basis with the
present existing lines, or else keep
out"
