(Claim No. 44503.)

— Judgment unanimously modified on the law and facts in accordance with the Memorandum, and as modified affirmed, with costs to claimants. New findings made, and inconsistent findings reversed.

In our decision in that case we decided that the value of the remaining property after the first appropriation was $4.17 per square foot. The award for this, or the “ second appropriation ” should have been computed on that value and not on a value of $4.50 per square foot. Thus the total amount awarded should have been
