Railway got the worst of it.
The dispute between Mr. William Smith of King Township and the Schomberg & Aurora Electric Railway, which came before Mr. James A. Proctor for hearing, has been concluded. The dispute concerned one and three quarter acres of land appropriated by the new line. The award directs the railway to pay for the property $115, and for damages resulting from the railway passing through Mr. Smith's farm $500, with full costs of arbitration. Before the proceedings were taken the company offered $215 for full compensation. A number of property owners along the route are presenting similar claims before Judge Morgan.
