From the case file
Although we believe the values reported by the petitioner's appraisers were very liberal and that the findings of the Board of Appraisal Commissioners as to values are substantially too high, we have accepted and will not seek a lower valuation than their findings as shown on the above tables in this case.
The dwelling was not moved but was permitted to remain, and is in part actually located on the driveway.
The hen house of defendants was torn down and wrecked, and it was not removed to another location as provided in the agreement.
No wire fence was built and no gates consequently were erected and no posts placed, except a small plot defendants built as a temporary enclosure for defendants' cows.
The petitioner disregarded its contract, except to pay the $2,000.00, and this sum petitioner is now seeking to recoup, so that, in effect, petitioner is seeking to recover from defendants the amount paid, and at the same time to avoid complying with its agreement, thus seeking to gain possession of defendants' property without the payment of a farthing and entail upon defendants loss of use of their property; in substance, to acquire the driveway, to the very great detriment of defendants, without cost to petitioner.
that I live on the property myself and am actively engaged in the mercantile and oil business, and I hereby request that the same be omitted from the contemplated Park Area. The actual value of this property, in my opinion, is Ten Thousand Dollars ($10,000.00)
The total amount which defendants ask to be set off against petitioner's claim of $2,000.00 is $2,575.00, and judgment is asked by defendants for the excess, namely, $575.00.
