1Opinion of the Court
CULLEN, Commissioner.
The Louisville Gas and Electric Company brought proceedings, under KRS 278.501, to condemn the right to store natural gas in an underground storage field below a 92-acre tract of farm land owned by the Milby family. Certain surface easements necessary for the storage operations also were being condemned. The jury in circuit court awarded damages of $13,000 and judgment was entered accordingly. The Milbys have appealed, primarily on the basis that the damages are inadequate, and the gas company has cross-appealed, contending the damages are excessive.
