Much testimony was taken from both sides of the controversy at several pub- lic hearings conducted by the county commissioners, and experts were pro- duced both to show that it would and would not affect property values. A number of the residents of the vi- cinity protested because of the possi- bility of long funeral processions pass- ing their homes, holding that this would affect the value of the property, but the proponents eontended that this could not be taken into consideration by tHe commissioners in making their decision. e TEST IS PLANNED.
