It is claimed that by reason of the construction of the bridge in question here, the embankment or approachments leading thereto acted as a' dam, thereby causing the water to remain and back up on claimant\u2019s property, and by reason of which conditions, claimant\u2019s crops were destroyed as claimed.\nIt is the opinion of the court, as urged by the Attorney General, that damages have not been established in the review of all the facts and circumstances in this case. It is the opinion of the court that the contention of the Attorney General is correct.\nTherefore, it is recommended that the claim be denied.",
