Description

The opinion of the court was delivered by Under two proceedings in eminent domain, the highway commission
appropriated land for highway purposes. In one proceeding, James
H. Reiter and other heirs of the Reiter estate are the owners of
the northwest quarter of a section of land in Cloud county. The
land taken by the highway commission amounted to approximately
nineteen acres, consisting of a strip extending diagonally across
the land. Under a part of this condemned land lay sand deposits
of varying depths and quality. Not being satisfied with the award
of the appraisers, the landowners appealed to the district court
which approved a verdict of the jury for damages totaling
$20,019.30. In the second proceeding, James H. and Violet Reiter are the
owners of the southeast quarter of a section of land in Cloud
county, and that portion appropriated for highway purposes
amounting to about seventeen acres, also extended diagonally
across the quarter section. A part of this land condemned,
likewise contained sand deposits. The landowners appeal from the
award of the appraisers to the district court which approved a
verdict of the jury for damages in the sum of $3,768.30. The two
cases were consolidated for trial in the court below, and are so
consolidated here on appeal.
