The decree in condemnation proceedings awarded to the owner of the fee certain sums for the land and $12,000 for the improvements thereon, together with an allowance to the tenant for the fixtures. The tenant claims the sum awarded for improvements should have been awarded to it. Decree in so far as an appeal is taken therefrom unanimously affirmed, with costs. No opinion.
