The James K. Cahill tract, adja-
cent to the Highland Bayou bridge
and owned by the Lasker Home

There was a great deal of discus-
sion over a piece of property owned
by W. F. Reitmeyer one mile west
of Hitchcock. This property consists
of a long, narrow strip of land com-
posing 12.99 acres, and the route of
the highway cuts right through the
center of the tract. Ross stated that
he offered the owner $100 per acre
plus $500 damages.
Mr. Reitmeyer and his son both
estimated the value of the land at
$300 per acre, contending that as
the highway route cuts right
through the center of the property
it virtually ruins the entire tract.

fied that four years ago he paid
$60 per acre for some land east of
the Reitmeyer tract, and that he
thinks the land is now valued at
$100 per acre. A similar figure was
given by Arthur Henckel of Hitch
cock.

this Summer and invite all those
