practic' lly conceded the unconstitu

that th time for Mr. Stull to ask for
an injunction was last November
Evidence showed that he attended the
appraisers meeting and asked the
state tc build a larger culvert in one
place which was done at a cost of
$300. Later, when it became nec
essary to cross his farm, he asked and
was given $100 for a right of way.
Still later he appealed from the award
of the appraisers, and this Fiiit is
pending in the district court of Cass

The statute is unconstitutional.
