Osgood/ Hall, Toronto, on Moo - day decided that Ira Rapson's creek is worth $1,000 not $600 In a judgement handed down the court increased the exprop- riation award. given Rapson for a, 1.1 -acre corner of his Goderich 70 -acre farm.. The land which was expropri- ated to re-route a road and re•-• place two faulty bridges, included a creek which Rapson said was a valuable water source. The late Huron County Judge Thomas Moore Costello, acting as. arbitrator on October 15, 1954, • awarded Rapson $600. In the judgement Monday, Mr. Justice W. F. Schroeder wrote, "It appears from reading judgement of the arbitrator that he consid- ered an amount equal to the cost. of providing the appelant's farm. with "an adequate supply of. water" as proper compensation for the damages sustained' by him. "In my opinion, an allowance of • an amount which represents the cost of bringing water from a bog to a trough on the appelant's land does not constitute full oom- pensation to the owner for the• loss of the creek." "The arbitrator has not, in any opinion, given due weight to the possibility or probability of other - owners tapping the same bog," His Lordship wrote. 1111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111IIIIIIh111111111111111111Y(1NIS CHRISTMAS Turkey Shoot: an Sat., Dec. 17 1 0 p.m. sharp ALMA GROVE Shotguns and Rifles Turkeys Oven Dressed Sponsored by Huron Fish andr Game Conservation Assoc.
