Judge Cox in the District Court in street
extension cases 429. Haw's; 436. Prather's.
and 1877, Wright and Cox's subdivision of
Mt. Pleasant.
/ The commission. after stating that they
find that all parcels of land in the respec-
tive subdivisions, other than those spe-
cially benefited, together with other parcels
in proximity thereto, are generally bene-
flied, say that after the most careful and
conscientious investigation and delibera-
tion they found themselves unable to as
certain and determine the limits Of the
area generally benefited by the proposed
improvements. In other words, so counsel
for the land owners claim. the jury in these
three cases, like that which reported re-
Gently in case 419, Denison and Leighton's
subdivision of Mt. Pleasant and Pleasant
Plains, say that the assessment of general
benefits required by the highway extension
act is an impossible and impracticable
matter
The Jury's Report.
The return of the jury in the matter is as
follows:
I'VE, the jury in the above entitled cause.
further find that all the parcels Of land
embraced within the subdivision to which
this proceeding relates tother than those on
which special benefits have already been
assessed by us), together with other par
cells in proximity thereto, are generally
benefited by the opening, laying out and
widening of the highways and reservations
or parts thereof, shown by the map of this
subdivision filed with the petition in this
cause; but after the most careful and con-
scientious investigation and deliberat1on
find that We are unable to ascertain and
determine the limits of the area generally
benefited by the opening, laying out and
widening of the highways and reservations
as aforesaid, or to assess upon each parcel
of the whole of
one-half of the damages caused by SAID
opening, laying out and widening OF said
highways and reservations, or parts
thereof
The awards were as follows, the first
amount being compensation for land taken
and the second being award for compensa-
ton and damages, less benefits:
