Description
The defendant, City of West Des Moines, a municipal corporation, brought proceedings to condemn the east 400 feet of Lot 2, Bray Farm, in Polk County, a tract containing 14.91 acres, for water-supply purposes. The sheriff's jury having awarded plaintiff, the owner of the realty in question, the sum of $8200.05, or $550 per acre, plaintiff appealed to the district court. Upon trial a verdict was returned for plaintiff in the sum of $30,000. Defendant filed its motion for new trial, specifying fifteen grounds. The Polk County District Court granted the motion on grounds Nos. 1 and 15 and denied Nos. 2 to 14, inclusive. From the ruling on the motion plaintiff has appealed.
