Description
This appeal is taken by several landowners from damage awards made to them after a jury trial in a condemnation action. The action was brought to obtain easements - Page 532 for two high-voltage power transmission lines. The most significant question raised in the appeal is whether the district court correctly instructed the jury as to the proper measure of damages in such a condemnation action. Other questions raised relate to the exclusion from evidence of written materials describing perceived problems and dangers from such power lines, and the admission into evidence of an order of the Industrial Siting Council which contained requirements that Basin Electric Power Cooperative mitigate certain damages arising in connection with the construction and maintenance of the power lines. We will hold that there was no error in the instructions given by the trial court nor in its rulings with respect to the evidence. The judgment of the trial court will be affirmed.
