Award Is Made
In PEpCO Case

A Montgomery County Circuit
Court jury has awarded a
Beallsville property owner $3.50
for some 1875 acres of land being
taken by the Potomac Electric
Power Co. for its new Dickerson
transmission line.
The award was made yester-
day to Mr.. and Mrs. William
Jeweler after five hours of de-
liberation at the windup of a
three-day condemnation trial. 1t
was one of the longest delibera-
tons in this type of case in the
memory of veteran court officials.
Two other condemnation cases
in the same area originally set
for this month have been post
poned. Attorneys for PEPCO
and property owners July 10
will argue questions Of law be-
fore the three judges Of the
court.
Seen Victory for PEPCO
The award was seen as a VIC
tory for PEPCO, whose apprais-
ers had put a value to the
property taken and damage to
the remaining land at slightly
more than $4,000.
Appraisers for the Jewellers
had said the resultant damages
were much more extensive and
had valued the loss between
$4,000 and $4,000
Attorneys r. Edwin Brown
and John Oxley indicated they
may seek a new trial.
They leveled much of their
criticism in final argument
toward the appraisal made by
real estate man Charles H.
Jamison. who is president of the
Montgomery County Council
He was scored as a biased" wit
ness by Mr.. Oxley.
Sought for Power Lines
PEPCO is obtaining a 25O-foot
Iright-of-way to permit construc-
