HAMLIN, Justice ad hoc
(concurring in part and dissenting in part).
I concur in the opinion and decree to the extent that is in favor of plaintiff. However, I believe that award is insufficient.
I am of the opinion that, the value of the truck at the time of the fire on June 29, 1954 being $2,300, its value at the time of delivery to the insurance company the following day was $1,526.47, plus the obligation of the insurance company to repair it, amounting to $773.53, or a total of $2,300.
If the insurance company had caused the truck to be promptly repaired and returned to plaintiff, its value of $2,300 would not have been affected. This sum should be the amount of the award.
