Opinion:
PER CURIAM:
This claim was submitted upon a duly executed written stipulation which revealed the following: On March 13, 1977, ¿ retaining wall on Route 52/14 in Maybeury, McDowell County, West Virginia, collapsed and caused damage to property belonging to the claimant. Route 52/14 and the retaining wall are owned and maintained by the respondent. The parties agree that the sum of $900 is a fair and equitable estimate of the damages sustained by the claimant.

Award of $900.00.
