Court of Appeal of Louisiana, Third Circuit.

April 25, 1973.


Attorney(s) appearing for the Case

Jack C. Fruge, Ville Platte, Edward A. Kaplan, Alexandria, for plaintiff-appellant.

Robert B. Neblett, Jr., of Neblett, Fuhrer & Hunter, Alexandria, for defendant-appellee.

Before SAVOY, HOOD and CULPEPPER, JJ.


CULPEPPER, Judge.

This case was consolidated with State, through the Department of Highways v. M. G. Realty Co., Inc. et al., La.App., 276 So.2d 918, in which a separate decision is being rendered by us this date. In each case the Department, using the "quick-taking" statute, LSA-R.S. 48:441 et seq., expropriated a strip from the front of defendant's land to widen an existing highway. The legal and factual issues are similar.
