Board of Commissioners v. Dreyfous

Opinion of the Court

JOHNSON, Judge.

This suit was filed by plaintiff to expropriate a tract of land in Section 42, Tp. 12 So., Range 12 E., and designated on the maps in evidence as the southern portion of the arpent tract No. 87. This case was consolidated in this court for the purpose of argument with four other cases of similar nature. In this case the plaintiff appealed from the judgment rendered by the Civil District Court for the Parish of Orleans on April 18, 1968, awarding title to said property to plaintiff by expropriation upon the payment by plaintiff to defendants Felix Julius Dreyfous, Mrs. Caroline Dreyfous, widow of Leon C. Weiss, Ruth Dreyfous, Mrs. Carol Drey-fous, wife of Fred Eiseman, Fred E. Eise-man, the parent, administrator and guardian of the minor F. Lee Eiseman, appearing herein for the use and benefit of his said minor son F. Lee Eiseman, F. John Dreyfous, Mrs. Leta Weiss, wife of Albert J. Marks, Jr., Mrs. Elizabeth Weiss, the wife of Dr. Leo R. Parnés, and Leon Weiss, Jr., the sum of $74,190.45, with legal interest from date of judicial demand.

For the reasons given by this court in the consolidated case of Board of Commissioners of the Port of New Orleans v. Lomm, etc., et al., reported at 220 So.2d 489, the judgment appealed from is amended by eliminating therefrom the words: “of judicial demand,” and inserting in lieu thereof the words: “of April 18, 1968, the date the judgment was rendered and signed.” In all other respects the judgment appealed from is affirmed, the plaintiff to pay all costs.

Amended and affirmed.
