Verdict Dismays Portsmouth Golf Club in Land Value Case

The Portsmouth Country Club faces a disappointing award of $300,21% from a U.S. District Court jury in its land condemnation suit for Greenland property. Club President John J. Hassett Jr and counsel Stanley M. Burns of Dover said an appeal is under consideration at a directors meeting. Burns moved to protect the club's right to appeal, due within 10 days. The award leaves scant funds for a new course and clubhouse, with Hassett noting little more than $200,000 may remain after costs. Burns remains optimistic about an additional $34,450 in just compensation for a pro shop, equipment building, and four cottages, potentially lifting total to about $334,682. The club could appeal to the Circuit Court of Appeals, aiming for an April or May hearing, possibly yielding a retrial if upheld. The case stems from the government’s $242,450 land offer for the Portsmouth Air Force Base site, decided after a 10-day jury trial.
