FILES, P. J.
I concur in the judgment, but do not join in the discussion of “special benefits.” The trial court advised counsel and instructed the jury in substance that although the additional parking on old First Street was not a “special benefit,” it could be considered as a part of the after condition in relation to the claimed diminution of the value of plaintiff’s property. This ruling did not prejudice defendant. The court gave defendant the opportunity to present to the jury its theory that the improved parking along the north side of the property tended to ameliorate the disadvantageous aspects of the project.
A petition for a rehearing was denied November 4, 1969.
