Felton, Chief Judge,
concurring specially. I am bound by the decisions of this, court holding that payment or tender of the amount fixed by the appraisers is prerequisite to a valid appeal. In this case it is inferentially admitted by the Highway Department that no tender was made. It follows that since no valid appeal existed the entire proceeding could not be dismissed under Georgia Ry. &c. Co. v. Mooney, 147 Ga. 212 (93 S. E. 206). This case does not throw any light whatever on the question involved in the Woodside case or the instant case. In the Mooney case the condemnee also filed an appeal and it was pending when the condemnor dismissed the entire proceeding.
