Wide Range In Value For Site (Continued from page one) should not exceed S4O per acre. However, they admitted some of it was more valuable. A good por tion of the land is covered with white sand or Bermuda grass. Testifying for the power com pany by affidavit, J. E. Brendle chairman of the Yadkin county commissioners; J. L. Crater, coun ty clerk; E. H. Hoots, Thomas A. Steelman. Paul P. Davis, W. A. Hall, E. B. Vestal, all farmers of the proposed dam site, declared the bottom lands which would be covered by water are worth about S2OO per acre. No Unemployment The group also testified that no unemployment exists in Yad kin county and no PWA project such as the proposed dam, is needed to take up the slack. Judge Sink, however, disallowed this testimony. The chief witness for the City of High Point was J. B. Saxe, civil engineer of the New York firm which surveyed the dam site last December and recently revised cost estimates. Saxe said the proposition, exclusive of a dis tribution system in High Point, could be built for $5,649,724. as compared with the $5,766,760 available in the event the court permits the city to issue bonds to augment the PWA grant. Given Details On the insistence of W. S. O'B. Robinson, chief Duke counsel, Saxe broke down his estimates in to minute details as to construc tion and costs. He denied the es timate is a minimum, but insist ed that it is likely construction could be done at a smaller in stead of a greater figure, Robin son then recalled David Nabow, Duke Power Company engineer, to dispute the Saxe figures. Judge Sink is hearing the case without a jury by agreement of both sides. Attorneys for both lit igants conceded that the case will go to the State Supreme Court regardless of Judge Sink's ruling.
