Description
The State of Texas and the City of Marshall, both acting by and through the City, hereinafter referred to as the Plaintiffs, instituted this condemnation proceeding against G. A. Walker, Sr. and wife, Lucy H. Walker, G. A. Walker Oil Company, Inc., a corporation, J. B. Watson, Jr., O. D. Huffman, and Phillips Petroleum Company, a corporation, hereinafter referred to as Defendants, to condemn for highway purposes a strip of land described by metes and bounds as being 0.207 acres, more or less, a part of the peter Whetstone Survey in Harrison County, Texas. As shown on the plat attached hereto, the 0.207 acres strip of land, taken to widen Highway 59, fronted 180 feet on the highway and 50 feet on East Houston Street. The strip taken was out of and a part of a tract of land consisting of 2.087 acres owned by G. A. Walker. The entire tract was L-shaped and had a frontage of 180 feet on Highway 59 and a frontage of 286 feet on East Houston Street. The Defendants, other than the Walkers, apparently were made parties to the condemnation proceedings for the reason that before and at the time of the taking of the 0.207 acres, a lease was in effect between Walker and J. B. Watson, Jr., covering the part of the land at the intersection of Highway 59 and East Houston Street, used by Watson as a filling station business; the remainder of the frontage on Highway 59 was under lease to Huffman and a building used as a cafe was situated thereon. Walker, as a jobber for Phillips Petroleum Company, used part of the 2.087 acres in connection with the operation of his wholesale bulk sales business. Situated thereon were two warehouses fronting on East Houston Street, which were used by Walker.
