Wire Fence Value in Land Battle Resumes in Superior Court
In Naugu tucks Superior Court, counsel for Borough of Naugatuck and witness Edward T. Waterbury of Meriden Steel and Wire contest the value of a wire mesh fence on Mrs. Whedmina Bennett’s Promped a treat property. Appraiser Aldro Jenks valued the fence at 1700 dollars, 340 running feet at 52 dollars per foot. Waterbury argued 340 dollars total, 1 dollar per foot, citing depreciation and lower replacement cost. Cross examining appraiser James E. Moore reveals complex cost breakdowns for the Bennett and Zwick properties, with Moore detailing reproductive costs per room and planned development maps showing possible subdivisions and road costs, leading to disputed land valuation figures.
