HALEY GETS $4,000 AWARD
Condemnation of Land Along Cum
nisOn for City Sewers.

In the case of the city of Delta
VS.. Edward Haley, condemnation of
the latter's land along the Gunnison
river for sewerage purposes. Haley
was awarded by the jury $4,000
damages.
The case came to an end Friday
night of last week attire a siege of
about four days in the district court,
at which time the jury rendered its
decision.
The amount of the award was
more than the city wanted to pay
and much less than the defendant
asked. When the jury decision was
made known, both sides announced
that they would move for new
trial, all of which was accepted as
a conventional bluff.
The costs in the case have been
ncavy on both sides, and it is not
unlikely that the case is as well and
favorably disposed of as could have
been expected after its somewhat
lengthy drag in court.
