Body
WHEREAS, the Real Estate Division of the Department of Public Works advises the Legislature that it has, heretofore, conducted negotiations for the purchase of a certain tract of land for inclusion in the Lydia Bridge Replacement Project, No. 2391; that such property was appraised and a value placed thereon which would fairly and reasonably compensate the owner thereof; that after such negotiations with the owner thereof, the Real Estate Division was unable to agree with the owner as to a fair and adequate compensation to be paid; and that the owner and general description of the tract are as follows:

Tract Number Owner
|109| P. Bhandal
Bhandal Corporation
