Heading: Matters overlooked

Text: Petitioner says the trial court overlooked certain matters it should have decided. One of these was the question of insurance, which we have already discussed. As to the other items, we believe the trial court considered them and decided the petitioner deserved no relief. We agree with this conclusion. The trial court made a detailed division of property, to which no objection is made. Petitioner was awarded real estate upon which respondent had started, but not finished, certain repairs and alterations. Petitioner thinks he should be compelled to complete them. The trial court apparently thought otherwise, and so do we. Other overlooked items include a propane gas bill and charges by the expert petitioner employed to appraise several parcels of real estate. The effect of the decree is to require petitioner to pay these. Again we agree with the trial court. Finally petitioner says the decree makes no provision for liability concerning real estate taxes. In his brief respondent concedes each party should pay taxes on the real estate awarded to him or her. This is the effect of the decree as it now stands. We hold this is the correct result.
