The California delegation here

Verdict Returned
Today in Last Con-
demnation Case
Is $97,50O

The site for Tacoma's munich
pal power plant on the Nisqually
river will cost the city $192, ,434.
The jury which heard the Sec
ond half of the suit returned q
sealed verdict last night which
was opened by Judge Easterday
this morning awarding to John L..
Nom urray, the Aztec Timber COM
pany and the Cascade Public Ser
vice corporation $97,500.
In the first part of the case,
which involved the Nisqually Pow
er company's holdings besides
those of the Northern Pacific and
several other large tracts. the to-
tai verdict was $94,934.
The first part of the suit was
generally conceded to be the larg-
er part of 1t, but the fact that the
reservoir and the power house are
to be situated upon the McMurray
tract caused the jury to place a
comparatively large estimate upon
that tract.
Estimates given by the various
experts upon the value of the
rights to be condemned and the
damage to remaining property
have ranged from about $500, 900
to over $2,0O0,0O0.
In the first case, Nelson Ben
nett, who was called by the city,
estimated the rights to be con-
demned at $150,000. consider
ably larger sum than that fixed
upon by the jury. In the last case
he gave $4,000 as his estimate
and the jury returned $97,500,
but did not divide it among the
three defendants. Other estimates
given by the city's expert wit
ness were smaller than those OF
Mr.. Bennett.
The defendants attorneys NOV
ed for a new trial and Judge East
erday set aside September IL for
hearing their arguments. If the
new trial is denied. 1t is probabl:
that they will appeal as the ver-
diets are very small when CON-
pared with the estimates of the
experts called by the property
owners.
The city appropriated $500, 200
for buying these rights, using
the figures of three expert, en-
gineers as their basis.
