Description
Plaintiff recovered a substantial verdict in a land damage case arising out of the relocation and widening (in 1947) of a State highway previously known as the New Holland Turnpike in Lancaster County. The real question involved is a narrow one -- what was the width of the plaintiffs property which was taken; and that in turn depends on whether a legal taking (for highway purposes) by the Commonwealths predecessor in title, over 100 years ago, was 33 feet or 50 feet.
