be entitled to a new government
building when he gets to congress.

, Henry Mohring exchanged with J.
Licber eight acres of land in the
' northwest part of Omaha for a half
section of land in Colorado. The
Douglas county district court gave
Mohring. a judgment for $6,000. The
district court required him to file a
remittitur in ,the sum of $1,500 so
that plaintiff retained his land in
Omaha and secured a inUgment for
$4,500.
The court commission finds that as
the plaintiff had set. a price of $4,500
on the Omaha land and the defendant
had sold the Colorado land for $3,200
the judgment is "grossly excessive"
and that plaintiff should be required
to file an additional remittitur in
the sum of $2,000.
