Nearly in every instance witnesses acknowledged deplorable condition of pike and as all of them lived off tho line of the pike and seldom had occasion to use it objection was offered upon the ground of increased txaation. After all the testimony was in Mr.

Gilkeson addressed the jury. He stated condemnation was favored principally by Sesi-1 dents of the boroughs of Morrisville, Tuf- lytown and Bristol. Citizens who would be exempt from paying the increased taxes for the maintenance of the road after it became county property. He said the burden would fall upon the shoulders of the fanners. The residents of the boroughs are always in favor of the farmers building good roods for the townspeople tondeupon.

It was the jury's business to consider the interests of the whole peo pie of the county. Mr. Shoemaker addressed the jury and combated the statements of Mr. Gilfceson Mr. Shoemaker declared that a majority of the signers of the petition were town ship taxpayers, residents of Falls Bensalem and Bristol township.

William 0. Mayne also addressed tho jury and made an impassioned appeal for justice and equity. He congratulated the jury for driving over the pike and returning alive. The pike is a necessity; the greatest travelled road in the county, and is the connecting road link between the two greatest cities in the country. He said the paltry sum of one-half mill woud raise more than sufficient pav all damages.

Ihe jury could condemn and assess damages against the county. They could condemn the pike as a whole or portion, and the jury thought it was to the best interests of the people as a whole that the pike should revert to the county it should be condemned. The jury rotired for consultation and within five minutes returned and rendered verdict of condemnation. The result of the jury's findings being ccepted, the question of the assessment of damages was next considered.
