““The considerations for the conveyance of the property by the appellant were recited to be: [1J Its use and occupancy by a state highway to be properly constructed thereon; and [2] the benefits accruing to her from the improvement. There was carried with the conveyance, naturally, the right to put the land to the use for which it was intended, and the grantor is entitled to no further consideration, if that right was exercised in a prudent and proper manner. ””
