DELEGATE WEIDEMEYER: Mr. President --

2

THE CHAIRMAN: Delegate Weidemeyer, may I

3

interrupt for a moment? This is, of course, the same

4

subject matter debated at length yesterday. The Chair

5

would sincerely hope that debate is held to a minimum.

6

Delegate Weidemeyer.

7

DELEGATR WEIDEMEYER: Mr. President, I will

8

try to make it very brief and I do hope that debate

9

will not be extended because I think I can make clear in

10

just a few moments the purpose of this amendment.

11

We had considerable objection from certain

12

areas, and after a lot of work on it yesterday, and

13

Delegate Johnson spent valuable time in talking to various

14

ones, and there seemed to be a lot of objection because

15

they thought it would include land condemnation cases.

16

Now we have on the last line specifically

17

exempted land condemnation cases, and there is reason for

18

that, and just as it should be so, because juries that

19

have to place land value on land being condemned ought to

20

be able to view the land. It would be difficult. We

21

agree with you, we specifically exempted those cases .
