One witness for the claimant testified that the property value was decreased Five Hundred to Sis Hundred Dollars; another witness testified that the value decreased Two Hundred Fifty Dollars. Two witnesses testified for the respondent, both of whom agreed that the decrease in value was approximately One Hundred Dollars.\nThis court is of the opinion, after a review of all the testimony, that a fair award would be the sum of Two Hundred Dollars ($200.00).\nAn award is therefore made in favor of Dana Breeden, claimant, for the said sum of Two Hundred Dollars ($200.00).",
