Federal Court Awards $10,827 In Willard Suit A federal court jury this week awarded $10,827 m the first of 23 condemnation suits brought by the government to obtain land required for construction of Willard reservoir. The sum was awarded for 77 acres recorded in the name of Thad R. Tippets, Brigham City, but known as the George I. tract. The amount was more than double the government appraisal of $5,000 but considerably less than the defendants appraisal of $23,000. The case was the first in the series to be tried in U. S. District court for Utah. Two verdicts were handed down in Utahs First District court before a declaration of taking transferred the proceedings to the federal court in Salt Lake Al-vor- d City.

Board members also discussed the fact that in some classrooms there are more than 40 students which docs not make for an ideal classroom situation.

S. Government. The site is an eight-acrtract of land located on the northeast part of Intermountain school campus on Seventh South street.
