The right of ways for other portions of this pipe line were involved in United Fuel Gas Co. v. Mauk, 272 S.W.2d 810; United Fuel Gas Co. v. Hieneman, 272 S.W.2d 813, 814, decided on this day, as well as other cases to-day decided, involving similar condemnations.

The commissioners’ -award of $245 -for the easement area was appealed to the Greenup Circuit Court and there a judgment of $1100 was rendered — $500 for the easement area and $600 for resulting damages to the remaining property. The case was tried with damages, being the sole question.
