Demands by Hamtramck farmers
from the Grand Trunk railway of
uight time* the value placed upon
land by real estate expert* brought
the brat Jury condemnation proceed
ing* in the probate court in 15 years,
when the Grand Trunk started ac
tion to condemn 17 acres that lie on
Ita right of way to I’ort Huron. The
hearing la now on before Judge Hul
bert.
Approached by real estate agent?
of the railway the farmers refused
to listen to any price within reason,
according to the testimony of J. O.
Hibbard, a real eatate man who has
obtained the right of way for line*,
and who acted for the corporation.
The owners of the property over
which the contest la being waged
are John P. Kuhn and his wife. Mar
garet, and Leonard, Mary’. George,
Michael. Elizabeth and Joan fcpren
ger and another of the family, Mrs.
Mary Miller.
The tract lies between the Seren
and Elght-m lie-run., three-quarters
of a mile east of Van Dyke-are.
E. C. Van Husan, president of the
Detroit Heal Estate board testified
that It was valueless for subdividing
purposes. He said that It was only
good for truck gardening and farm
ing.
Although the fair price of the
property was declared by the real
eatate experts to be $250 an acre.
Mr. Hibbard, who had been author
ized to act for the Grand Trunk, de
clared that the Kuhns wanted $2,000
an acre, while Springers were un
willing to listen to anything less
than $5,000 an acre. The agent had
been authorised to offer S4OO an acre
la order to obviate condemnation
proceedings and to expedite the pur
chase of the property. This was the
limit price, however, he said.
Under the direction of Judge Hul
bert and Deputy Prank Belhart the
Jurors were taken In a private car
