“the ‘condemmation BuLt,



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

tho avard to the OWnRes.

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. I 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 award is appealed to a jury.

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

Ys e ° Tr
“- _total:- sum avarded by tha Master of $33,500.60 is well within the

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