He overruled property owners objections and upheld the commissioners award, valued at 2 million 50 thousand dollars. The protest came from a minority of owners. A B Worthington represented one protestant.

Court weighs land award review in condemnation case
Attorneys for the government submit an order on confirmation of the decision with two $37,500 fees for three commissioners and dates yet to be set. Justice Stafford notes the core issue is whether the act confines the President to price adequacy or allows rejection to serve the public interest, and urges avoiding review of appraisers’ method absent fraud or gross mistake. The ruling cites the Supreme Court warning against reweighing the evidence and says objections to inadequate prices are likely overruled if no fraud or corruption is shown.
