Eugene Wins Suit for Land The city of Eugene won a supreme court case today to condemn 51 acres of land for use in the city's power and water system. The land is owned by Mr. and Mrs. A. West Johnson. They claimed that the city didn't need the land, and that the city wanted to pay only a tenth of what the land is worth. The city offered $2,500 for the land, and the Johnsons wanted $27,785 for it. The lower court of Circuit Judge G. F. Skipworth gave the city the land and fixed $4,500 as the fair value. The Johnsons then appealed. Today's supreme court deci sion, by Justice J. O. Bailey, upheld the $4,500 figure. Other decisions today: A. L. and Amelia R. DuVal m. Leora Miller, appellant.
