On rehearing.
STRUTZ, Judge.
In response to a petition filed by the respondent landowner, a rehearing was ordered on the sole question of interest. After reargument, it is evident that the respondent does not question the correctness-of our holding that interest from the time-of taking may not be taxed as part of the costs. It merely questions any possible implication in our opinion that such interest may not be allowable if interest as a part of the damages is determined by the court at the time of hearing on the question of costs.
Our opinion does not, by implication or otherwise, pass on the question of whether interest is allowable from the time of taking to the time of verdict. All that we hold, or intend to hold, is that such interest may not be taxed as part of the costs in favor of the prevailing party to the proceeding.
The court is of the opinion that the question of interest and other questions raised by the petition for rehearing were correctly determined in the original opinion, and it therefore adheres to such opinion.
BURKE, C. J., and TEIGEN and ER-ICKSTAD, JJ., concur.
