“the ‘condemmation But,



The amount averded by the Spacial Master to Mrs, Clark for her

ieasead fee enterest of $35,500.00 is less than the ar ppraisal of

Me, Dabney of $57,759. 00 and that of Me, Kiekland in the amount
--—-- 0£- $36,809. 00,” Accordingly, I vould not recomend’ an appeal from

tho avard to the OWRes.

The andunt of $3,000,090 ava xded to tho leosse is ovez
He. Dabney's appzaisal of $1,850.00 and ie, Kirklard's anpraisal
of $1,260.00. 2 would point out thet Me. Ballard has asparently
‘undargone some type of operation, and testified that he only

34 cake xd $2,009.00 from his business last year because of the fact

that he wes in the hospital so much. In addition, he has to walk

with assistance, I feel sure that his physical condition would
inflivence a jury in the event his avard is appealed to a jury.

Considering both the leased fee and the leas:
-is, the tot21 exounts involvad, Mr. Dabney's appzra
$39,600.00 and thr, Kirkland’s appvaisal was $38,00

-$atal--son teardse by the Master of $33,500.60 is well within the a

Neither Me. Ballard nor Mrs. Clark were represanted by counsel at
tha hearing. It may well be that Mra. Clark will anpeal to a
jury inasmich as the amount evarded to then by the Special Master
