Before CASE, J., pursuant to the statute.
Wall, Haight, Carey & Hartpence, of Jersey City, for Canda Realty Co.
William F. Hanlon, of New York City, for Central R. Co. of New Jersey.
The Central Railroad Company pursued the procedure set up in the Eminent Domain Act (R.S. 20:1-1 et seq., N.J.S.A. 20:1-1 et seq.), to condemn certain real estate of the Canda Realty Company. The proceedings moved regularly to the filing by the commissioners of their report. The owner has taken an appeal from the award; and with that we are not concerned. The owner now applies for an order directing the petitioner in condemnation to pay the owner's costs, counsel fees, expenses and disbursements incurred in, and in preparation for, the submitting of proofs to the commissioners. The application is rested upon two provisions of the Eminent Domain Act, R.S. 20:1-14 and 20:1-30, N.J.S.A. 20:1-14 and 20:1-30, and also the Fees and Costs Act, R.S. 2:27-378, N.J.S. A. 2:27-378.
