under authority of Act 383 of 1953, and under the latter act, a deposit of $12,906.00 was made by the Commission, and title
to the lands was immediately vested in it. The tract from which this acreage was taken contained approximately 760 acres,
and the designated highway route severs an additional 25 to 30 acres of land which will, after construction of the highway,
be south and east of the remaining farm unit. The proposed highway (interstate highway No. 55) will consist of two lanes of

highway, i.e., ingress and egress to the main lanes will only be at designated points. The cause proceeded to trial in January,
