The re- ceipts of the Indiana-sireet line were $S1,000 a year, and the expenses §71,000.

The first Wit- zess was F. P. Van Wyck, who estimated the north half of the truct. including the 12 acres of kigh ground, at $1.000an acre, and the south half, o720 2cre-, at $300 an acre. Judge Van 1 Higzins gave a long account of ris reascns for estimaung the value of the track in question. He considered the high land in_the northwest quurter of the tract as worth from $400 | w800, aud atl tae rest as worth $100, $200, or $400. Some of it was three fect under water, and it would cost $1.250 10 32,500 an acre to raise it ek enouzhi to mukv It valuable for building pur- poses. He would rather pay $1.500 an acre for goud fand near railroad than 500 vor land which would ot be easily reached. He did not think ke would care to own the forty acres in question. except perhaps the high lund. The remamder ‘was not good for Gish or frog-ponds, nor anything else, withuut = outlay of capital. He was well acquainied withs the vadie of land in the vicinity, 0d had_accustomed himself to keep posted in prices. The land at.present wasnot worth any- tuiug. A.J.

These witnesses formed their estimates princi- pally un their judzment. and not on actual sales. 1o the afteriivon Oswald A, Lozue was put ou the siand, and testified that the hizh Jand was worth $200 un acre, and the remaiming land about S100 eracre, W.
