Court of Appeals of Kentucky (pre-1976) July 2, 1965 (Commonwealth, Department of Highways v. Mary Potts Hagyard Burns)

CULLEN, Commissioner.

The Commonwealth of Kentucky, Department of Highways, appeals from a judgment awarding the appellee landowners $54,015 as the difference in value of their farm resulting from the taking by condemnation for highway purposes of a strip of land running diagonally across the farm.

Admittedly the farm, originally consisting of 295 acres, was high value property.
