Description
On June 23, 1952, the county court of Van Buren County, on petition of appellee, Arkansas State Highway Commission, entered its order prescribing the route and dimensions of a new road which would run through lands owned by Phil Koelsch, appellant, and condemning 2.2 acres of said land for use as right-of-way for the road. When appellant refused to allow entry upon his condemned property, appellee filed an injunction suit to restrain him from interfering with the contractors work, and on August 22, 1952, the chancery court made such an order, after requiring that appellee deposit $1,000 to guarantee payment of any damages suffered by appellant due to the entry onto the property. After a hearing on June 23, 1953, the chancellor found that appellant was entitled to no damages for the taking of his lands, and ordered the $1,000 deposit returned to appellee after costs were deducted. This conclusion was apparently based on the courts determination that the benefits resulting to appellants remaining lands equaled or exceeded the value of the lands taken and any damages to the remaining lands.
