CONDEMNATION CASE
Jury Awards $500 To Chesa-
peake City Property Owner


The condemnation suit of
1.-The President and Commission
ers of the Town of Chesapeake
City vs.. Frank P. Conrey, to ac-
quire a strip of land for the To-
cation of a street in connection
with changes to be made by the
Governmet, was before the Cir
cult Court at Elkton, on April
|27. The case grew out of a
controversy over the price for
property belonging to Mr.. Con-
rey and desired by the town of
Chesapeake City for the pur-
nose of street improvement.
The property was condemned
by the town and as a satisfac-
tory price could not be decided
upon the case was taken to
Court.
Evidence showed that in re-
locating the bridge over Back
Creek and making the propos-
ed yacht basin, a street would
take a narrow strip form Mr..
Conrey's property, used as a
coal yard.
Witnesses differed very ma
|terially, some placing the dam
ages at several thousand dol
lars, others at a nominal figure.
The jury rednered a verdict
assessing the damages at $500.
