paid as much per acre as neigh
Dor, Thomas Garrett, who was
offered-and has rejected
$25, $50 for IL acres.
The two tracts, near Muddy
Branch Road and Route %, have
been condemned and turned into
an Army Nike guided missile sta
ton. Corps of Engineers Off
Gals say Mr.. Garrett will prob
ably soon settle out of court for
his land. A fair price for Mr.
Kent's land will be determined in
the Federal Court at Baltimore,
probably in the fall, they say.
Though Mr.. Kent has rejected
the $22,650 because Mr.. Garrett
IS getting more, he admits the
s1,700 per acre price is "much too
high" He says he told engineers
corps representatives, You're
crazy as hell" when they turned
down his donation suggestion and
offered the $22,650.
Mr.. Kent says he paid 500 an
acre ID years ago for the par
eel from which the ID acre tract
was carved. Corps of Engineers
officials say the $22,650 includes
the value of the land plus COM
pensation for damages to the
rest of the farm. Mr.. kent's
Kentland farm consists of more
than 1000 acres.
Elements of the confused story
which has covered more than
three years, include a neighbours
feud, the intervention of a United
States senator, and an Engineers
Corps attorney handling his first
case.
Mr.. Kent's version of the story
is this:
Asked to Survey
In the summer of 1858 two civil
ians in an Army car came to his
farm and asked permission to sur
vey the land. They could not re-
veal why the Army was seeking
land.
Mr.. Kent told the men to bring
a deed and he would sign it, CIV
ing the land to the Army free.
He was told that the Army could
not accept free land.
The men returned sometime
later and requested permission to
survey again. Mr.. Kent again of
fered the land free and was again
turned down.
The firm of Beasley and Beas
ley phoned Mr.. Kent to SET up an
appointment for an appraiser to
visit the farm. Mr.. Kent repeated
his offer of free land and said he
was asked, do you want to cut
us out of our commission"
In the summer of 1854 William
j. Cronin of the Corps of Engi-
neers came to the farm and of.
