## Opinion text

Concurring and Dissenting Opinion by
Mr. Justice Jones:
I concur with the majority of this Court in its conclusion that “no contract ever came into existence between the parties.”
However, in my view, one of the property owners who was permitted to testify as to the market value of the condemned property had not been properly qualified to express an opinion on that subject, and the admission of such testimony constituted such harmful error as to require the grant of a new trial.
Mr. Justice Cohen joins in this opinion.
