Session of the Superior Court of New Hanover, certified under G.S. 7A-31 for review by the Supreme Court prior to determination by the Court of Appeals, docketed and argued as case No. 1 at' the Spring Term, 1974.\nThis proceeding was instituted by the State on the 28 June 1968 under N. C. Gen. Stats., Ch. 146, Art. 6 (1964 and Supp. 1971), in the manner prescribed by Ch. 136, Art. 9, to condemn 268.5 acres of land owned by respondents Johnson and Killings-worth. The purpose of the condemnation is to preserve the remains and relics of Confederate Fort Fisher and the approaches thereto.\nAt the 8 November 1971 Session of New Hanover, all other questions having been resolved, the sole issue for trial was the fair market value of the land on 28 June 1968, the date of the taking.
