Minn. St. 117.16. The affidavits of respondents’ attorneys as to the services rendered and the court’s personal observation of in-court services performed by the attorneys were sufficient to sustain the award. Respondents, in addition to affirmance of the judgment, are awarded $250 attorneys’ fees in this court.
