VALUE OF LAND TRACT
IS PLACED At S2500.
HENDRICKS WILL RECEIVE
SAME PRICE AS OFFERED
Decision of Jury i'm Condemnation
Suit is Very Pleasing TO State Of
ficials-Is End of Difficulty of
Board.

AS a result of the verdict returned
at $50 last evening, C. C. Hendricks
will get no more compensation for
his ten acre tract just west of the
city limits than was offered him by
the state prior to the instituting of
the condemnation suit. The value
placed upon the land by the jury was
$4,000 which is the price offered by
State Treasurer Kay several months
ago.
The state officials are very we'll
pleased with the verdict and there is
a general feeling that the price fixed
IL a reasonable one. Attorney Cen
eral A. NJ Crawford, who with Charles
H. Carter prosecuted the case, ex-
pressed himself this morning as be-
ing entirely satisfied with the YER
dict. I'VE had offered Mr.. Hen
bricks $25OO for the land before the
suit" he said, and l believe that
price is a just one. The state has no
disposition to deprive anyone of a
just compensation of the land it needs
and I think the majority of people
will agree that Mr. Hendricks is re-
ceiving full value for his tract
The decision of the jury puts an
end to the difficulty which the state
board has had in securing possession
OF the ten acre tract to add to the
land already purchased for the branch
asylum site. The owner was offered
$3.50 an acre for his land but de-
manded S400 and later declared he
would not let it go for that price.
After exhausting all other efforts to
secure the land at a reasonable fig
ure, condemnation suit, was brought
and it is this suit which has just been
threshed out in court.
