Douglas, J.,

¶1concurring in result only: — I concur in the *891judgment of tbe court on the understanding that its opinion means that the condemnation proceedings, so far taken, are unconstitutional and therefore void, and that the plaintiff will have the right to maintain his action in the nature of trespass for-damages for any such unlawful entry upon his property.
