Today, the victim's mother, Mrs. Robert Carson of 1022 Lincoln street in Watsonville, sounded an appeal for information about the dog. She knows her daughter is gone and that her son-in-law is injured. But not knowing about the dog's welfare or whereabouts is troubling her, too. The dog answered to the name "Buddy Boy," and its only identification is a tag indicating it has had a rabies shot.

"I can just see the little animal lying along side the road, Injured, and with no help or hope. If anyone knows anything about the dog, please tell them to let me know," she pleaded. "If they want it and will love it, they may keep it, but I have got to know." Mrs. Carson may be called at Watsonville 724-5084.

Property owners, who had asked nearly a million dollars in the condemnation action, indicated they may carry the case to the district court of appeals.

The jury, instructed and locked up yesterday morning, deliberated about five hours before returning the verdict. The sum they recommended included no severance damages for the 15 acres still held by defendants Gerald McGuire, Kelly Wood and Orville Telstad. The defendants had asked about $750,000 for the acreage, and had appraisals indicating severance damages should be from $134,000 to $191,000. The city's appraisals indicated the 30 acres are worth $211,000 to $221,000, and recommended no severance damages. The city will use the acreage to expand the city sewage treatment plant, a project.

The first phase of the expansion is to start this summer. Bids have been taken for the work, but award of the contract was held up pending the trial results. Amtz Construction company, San Francisco, is low bidder at for the first phase. McGuire and Wood bought the 45 acres in 1962 from Alice Neary, paying an estimated $250,000. Last year they announced a multi-million-dollar development plan for the area, but later withdrew their application for rezoning.

City attorney Rod Atchison said final papers will be prepared within a few days for judge Gilbert Perry to enter judgment confirming the jury's verdict. Defense attorneys have 30 days from the date of judgment to file notice of appeal.
