House of James Van Nostrand, North Hempstead, Oct
27th 1874.

Testimony taken by the Commissioners Valentine Willis,
B. Hendrickson and Ebenezer Kellum, appointed by Court
to assess damages for a highway through the lands of
George H. Kelsey, Charlotte K. Kelsey and Charlotte C.
Kelsey.

George H. Reiser being duly sworn savs — that I am
acquainted with the land in question, have known it since
1828. Said land lies in the town of North Hempstead, lying
between the Lakeville Road and property or lands of Mrs.
Shepard and James Van Nostrand. there is a fence the
whole distance on the North side of said proposed road,
said highway is said to be fifty feet wide, there is no fence
on the South side of said road. Said Road takes two acres
and three quarters of land belonging to Charlotte H. Kelsey
and Charlotte C. Kelsey and eventually to me. I think it
was 10 years since the Waldron farm was sold. I think

HEMPSTEAD TOWN RECORDS. 23

this land to be taken is worth $600 per acre. I rent this
land for $12.50-100 per acre. This land is now in a high
state of cultivation. This property is taken at a disadvan-
tage to me, as it is leased out of from $400 to $500 to one
man, and $300 for another man. This property is taken
without my consent. Lands were sold b}T O. Bergen to
John Wick on the Jericho Turnpike one mile off this road
for $500 per acre.

George H. Kelsey.

Edwin Laurence duly sworn, says: — That I know the
land in question. The Waldron farm lying adjoining, was
sold about 3 years ago for $1,000 or $5,000, containing
about 40 acres. Buildings were not very valuable, it was
a foreclosure sale. I sold the front part of my farm joining
the Jericho Turnpike, running about 160 rods to the north,
for $300 per acre. The front land is worth about double
what the rear land is worth. I think this land to be taken

Page 296.

for the said road is worth about $200 per acre. I think the
road when opened will be a benefit to the land. I should
consider this road a benefit to the Kelsey property without
any compensation for the land, and do not consider the
road any damage. I consider the Waldron farm in as good
condition for gardening purposes as the land about to be
taken for this road, when it was sold. The rear part of
the property I sold for $300 per acre, lies near the laud
about to be taken for this road, which rear land I consider
to be worth about one half what the front was.

Edwin Laurence.

Do not know of any property being sold within 2 years

under $200 per acre within one mile of this road. Have

been told that widow Hendrickson sold a part of farm at

Hinsdale Station for $500 per acre (front land). Owner of

property told me so.

Edwin Laurence.

George Kelsey recalled says : — That I know of the Bur-
tis property lying or fronting on the Turnpike for $500 per
acre, with buildings; Mrs. Hendricksons at Hinsdale for
$500 per acre, without buildings.

manner, of the Public Lands belonging to said town, where

en suing year.

Resolved — that the Supervisor be authorised to borrow

ulated back bills incurred by the Overseers of the Poor,
and that said amount be placed in the tax levy for next

Resolved — that the Supervisor be earnestly requested to
use his best efforts to secure through the action of the

portion of the record of the proceedings of the Town Meet-
ing, at which action was taken on the matter of a division
of the Proprietor's lands, is missing. All that remains is on
the first page of the second leaf, and is as follows.

have Respectively paid to the patent. There was also a
Large Tract of Land Laid out ye Seventeenth Day of
Apriel 1712 for Town Commons Lying between the East
Meadow and the West Meadow which Land we find by Ex-
perience Has Not Answered the Expectations or Ends that
It was Laid out for the Reason that Several persons Makes
Such Havock and Distraction of ye Timber that the End
will prove Distinctive To the Inhabitance afore'sd We the
