and 1908 Race street. s712O.
Thirteen tenants in this section were refused
any damages.
The jury of view modifed THAR nraIip,i
nary award of damages In two instances
The award to Olivia f. Ernst for premises
1900 Race street was changed from SIG 900
to $4,000, interest to be calculated from
November l. 1905. as the time of the taking
instead of from December 8, 1909 and the
award to John I. Rogers for 1902
Race street was changed from $1,000 to
$4,000. and the same change in the time
n the taking as the Ernst property
With relation to the award of $3.50, 900 to
John McHugh for the northwest corner
OF Fifteenth and Filbert streets, 1t is ex
planned that the award consists entirely of
the market value of the property at the
time Of the taking. The owner conducted
licensed saloon upon the premises but
under the law in condemnation proceedings
the value of such license cannot be CON
sidered as an item of damage by the board
OF view. The best use, however, of the
property at the time Of the taking was con
sdered by the board to be a licensed saloon
as contended by the owner, and this fact
was so considered In making the award of
damages. ~
