§ 66-56. Taking by eminent domain - Appeal to Supreme Court

Either party aggrieved may appeal from the decision of the

district court to the Supreme Court; but such review or appeal shall

not delay the prosecution of the work on such railroad over the

premises in question, if such corporation shall first have paid to

the owner of said real property, or deposited with the said clerk

for said owner, the amount so assessed by said commissioners or

district court; and in no case shall said corporation be liable for

the costs on such review or appeal, unless the owner of such real

property shall be adjudged entitled, upon either review or appeal,

to a greater amount of damages than was awarded by said

commissioners. The corporation shall in all cases pay the costs and

expenses of the first assessment. And in case of review or appeal,

the final decision may be transmitted by the clerk of the proper

court, duly certified, to the proper register of deeds, to be by him

filed and recorded as hereinbefore provided for the recording of the

report, and with like effect. The fee of land over which a mere

easement is taken, without the consent of the owner, shall remain in

such owner subject only to the use for which it was taken.
