Description
The controversy in this condemnation proceeding brought by our petitioner, the City of Austin, for school purposes, relates only to the determination of the damages. The land actually appropriated was a more or less rectangular piece, being 4.57 acres out of a larger tract owned by the respondent-condemnees, John Cannizzo and others, in a southwesterly area of the city, in the angle between the Barton Springs Road on the north and the Fredericksburg Road or South Lamar Boulevard on the east. The 4.57 acres lies immediately south of a 6-acre tract of the City on which is located a relatively new public school of substantial size. The Special Commissioners awarded the respondent $13,000, which the County Court of Travis County, upon a verdict, raised to a total of $25,000, being $21,000 for the value of the 4.57 acres taken and $4,000 by way of devaluation of the rest of respondents tract. The charge to the jury included a part of the preliminary general instructions the statement "that the only issue in the case is the value of the land taken, and the depreciation in value, if any, to the defendants remaining land." The special issues, accompanying instructions and answers are set out in.
