Price, as Chairman, and another member, George H. Levi, as Secretary: That in obedience to the orders and directions of your - Honor's Court they entered upon the performance of the duties im posed upon them as such Special Investigators and as such Board of Appraisal Commissioners, under the Provisions of the Public Park Condemnation Law, and having strictly complied with the pro - visions of that Act in the performance of the duties thus imposed upon them, they respectfully submit this their report of their proceedings and findings to the date hereof, specifically inviting #* attention at the same time and at the outset to the exceptions to the general statements and findings in the body of this report which are set forth in the concluding paragraphs hereof captioned as follows , "EXCEPTIONS ." TO THE FOREGOING Your Undersigned caused a copy of the order of your Hon- or's Court entered on July 15, 1930, fixing the time and place of the hearings of claims and evidence in support thereof, to be post - ed at the front door of the Court House of Rappahannock County, and �- likewise caused a copy of said order to be mailed to each claim - ant of any right, title, estate or interest in the lands des cribed in the petition, or of incidental damages arising from the proposed condemnation thereof, whose claim was at that time filed with the record in the Clerk * s Office, to the address of such claimant as set forth in his answer or claim; such posting and - such mailing was all done for a period of more than ten days be fore the time set in the aforesaid order for the hearings: and, pursuant to the order of your Honor’s Court entered herein, and after notice to petitioner, your Undersigned heard the evidence presented by the petitioner and the owners and claimants whose answers or claims had been filed with the record, as to the nature, - character, location, extent, ownership, and value of the lands de scribed in the petition, and of the various separate parcels or tracts included therein of diverse ownership, and of any and all right, title, estate or interest therein, and of any incidental damages, owned or claimed by such owners or claimants * - During the progress of the hearings, many persons ap peared and presented claims in or to rights, title, estates, or interests in various parcels or tracts of land within the area sought to be condemned, who had not filed answers or claims with respect thereto within the time prescribed by the statute, and asked to be heard and to be permitted to offer evidence in support of such claims: In every case the petitioner waived its right to object to the presentation of such evidence on the ground that such claims had not been filed within the time prescribed by the statute, and asked that all such claims be permitted to be filed and evidence taken in support thereof, and that the evidence as to such claims be considered by your Undersigned as if said claims had been filed within the time fixed by law for the filing of the claim, and your Undersigned thereupon heard and considered the -2 �evidence as to such claims presented by these claimants and the petitioner, and as to the fact or facts of value thereof and of the fee simple estate of the various tracts of parcels of land . with reference to which such claims were set up Many of the claims could not be heard on the days fix - ed for the hearing of the same because of inability of parties to properly prepare for the presentation of the evidence; in all such cases, the hearings, and the taking of evidence were regular - ly adjourned from time to time, and from place to place to suit . the convenience of the claimants and petitioner After the petitioner and all the owners and claimants - who had filed answers or claims or had submitted claims as afore said had been thus given an opportunity to be heard and to submit evidence in support of their claims, and had been heard and had submitted their evidence, your Undersigned met and considered the evidence thus submitted at length, and went on all the various tracts or parcels of land of diverse ownership, within the area sought to be condemned, as to which any such claims had been filed, and also went upon all the various tracts or parcels of land of diverse ownership within the area as to which no answers ' or claims had been filed or submitted with the record, but which, by diligent search and inquiry, and upon evidence furnished by the petitioner and others your Undersigned found to be included within the said area; and viewed the same extensively for the purpose of aiding them in ascertaining and determining the fact or facts of value of such tracts or parcels of land and their identity with the lands described in the various answers or claims filed with the record; or their identity with parcels or tracts of land shown by the petitioner or appearing to the Undersigned, as a result of diligent search and inquiry, to belong to owners who had failed to file answers or claims; or their identity with -3- �parcels or tracts of land in or with reference to which infants, insane persons, or persons under legal disability were found or appeared to have any claim of right, title, estate, or interest or of incidental damages * In addition to the hearings aforesaid held after due - notice as above set out, further hearings were had and further op portunity to be heard and to present evidence was given to the petitioner and to all owners and claimants within the area in strict compliance with the order of this court entered on February 16, 1931, providing for notice by publication of the tine and place of such hearings; and at the time and place set out in said no - tice your Undersigned gave all owners and claimants an opportunity to be heard and to submit evidence in support of their claims and to submit such further and additional evidence as they desired to present as to claims on which they had already been heard, and as to the fact or facts of value thereof and of the fee simple estate of the various tracts or parcels of land with reference to which . such claims were set up At the hearings above set out the petitioner submitted * a map, prepared by its engineers, surveyors, and land examiners, - purporting to be a correct and accurate map of the entire area de scribed in the petition, and to show each and every parcel or tract of land within the area of diverse ownership, and the boundary lines thereout:, including all parcels and tracts of land within the area of known and unknown ownership, or as to which - claims of ownership or incidental damages arising out of the pro posed condemnation thereof had been filed in the record, each of said tracts or parcels of land being given a separate number as shown on said map by reference to which it is and may be identified in this report and the attached exhibit sheets * In the course of your Undersigned * s personal view and -4 �inspection of the lands within the area as above set out, they personally visited each and every tract or parcel of land shown on this map, ( except only as hereinafter indicated) and carefully checked from personal observation and view the subdivisions into - which it is divided and basing their findings upon such inspec - tion and upon the evidence submitted at the hearings, your Under signed find and report that the said map is a correct and accurate map of the entire area described in the petition; that said area contains approximately thirty-seven thousand three hundred and ninety nine ( 57,399 ) acres of land and that ( with the corrections - and amendments made thereon under the direction of your Under signed, as required by the facts disclosed by the evidence adduced at the hearings and their own inspection and view of the lands within the area )' said map correctly discloses all the separate tracts and parcels of diverse ownership within the area sought - to be condemned: and, examined together with the exhibit sheets hereinafter mentioned, it shows the location and boundary lines of each tract or parcel of land in and to or with reference to which claims or answers have been filed with the record in the - Clerk's Office, and in and to or with reference to which your Un - dersigned have been able to discover by diligent search and in - quiry that any infant, insane person, or person under legal dis - ability has o r is entitled to a real claim, of right, title, es tate or interest, and in and to which any other person who has not actually filed a claim, has or may be entitled to a real claim;
