Housing Authority of New Orleans v. Doll

REGAN, Judge.

This appeal emanates from the institution of a suit by the Housing Authority of New Orleans to expropriate certain land for public purposes. Joseph Caesar, Administrator of the Succession of Julius P. Caesar, and Emile M. Doll, the adverse claimants to ownership of the property, did not contest the right of expropriation and the trial court, in conformity with the prayer of the petition of the Housing Authority of New Orleans, rendered judgment establishing the sum of $2,000 as being a fair value of the land. This sum was then deposited in the Registry of the Civil District Court.
