made an offer of $50 cash for the right
of-way across this property but the
matterswas referred to arbitratOrs, Mr..
Callahan not thinking the price suffi-
cient. Cash offers were made to Des
Moines owners OF three other tracts and

owners and closed contracts with a.
number of them. He thinks that most
of the right-of way will be secured
without resorting to condemnation pro-
ceedings but said that as soon as the
line is definitely located from Berwick
Into Des Moines sherif's Jury will be
empanelled and condemnation proceeds

nitely located south OF Berwick, tho II
