or in the Alternative to Deny Possession of Property to Plaintiff,
and the Court having reviewed the file and the testimony submitted
at the hearing on Quick Taking on June 20, 1979, heard the arguments
of counsel and being otherwise fully advised in the premises, the
Court finds as follows:
1. The appraisal submitted by Plaintiff at the Order of r
Taking hearing on June 20, 1979 was so substantially-inadequate as '
to render it invalid;
2. The Court finds from the direct testimony and cross

j examination of the appraiser and other evidence in this cause that
~ a fair and adequate compensation to Defendant for the taking of its
property in this cause would be a minimum of $276,000.00;

Taking until such time as Plaintiff has deposited with the Court the
