OPINION BY JUDGE WILKINSON, JR., November 17, 1977:

This is an appeal from a decision of the Court of Common Pleas of Bucks County awarding delay compensation to the appellees from the date of the filing of the declaration of taking. We reverse, finding that the lower court erred in holding that possession by the appellant County of Bucks was not necessary to effectuate a taking of the property involved.
