A Declaration of Taking was filed on June 12, 2007, at the above named court term and number. 2. The Declaration of Taking was for temporary construction and permanent easements on property owned by Jonas W. and Alta K. Nolt, ("Condemnees"), located along S.R. 233, in West Pennsboro Township, Cumberland County and recorded in the Office of the Recorder of Deeds for Cumberland County at Deed Book 35X at Page 784. 3.

Nolt, and in support thereof states the following: 1. In response to the Petition of Condemnor for Rule to Show Cauge Why Writ of Possession Should Not Issue ("Petition") filed August 31, 2007, an Order of Court was issued September 4, 2007 by the Honorable M.L. Ebert, Jr. 2. Under the Order, Condemnees were required to file an answer within ten days of the date of the Order. 3. As of the date of this filing, Condemnees, Jonas W. and Alta K. Nolt, have not filed an answer to the Order and over ten days have lapsed since the Order was issued. 4. Under the Order, if no answer is filed by the required date, the relief requested shall be granted upon the filing of a motion requesting the rule be made absolute. 5. In the Petition, Condemnor requested upon Condemnor's payment into the court of $863.00, a writ of possession for the temporary construction and permanent easements on Condemnee's property as shown on the attached Easement Plan. 6. Condemnees have continually refused Condemnor's offer of payment of Condemnor's estimate of just compensation ("EJC") for the easements in the amount of $863.00. 7. The Eminent Domain Code at 26 Pa.C.S.A. §307(a) (1) (iv) provides that the EJC may be paid into court. 8. With the issuance of the writ of possession, Condemnor respectfully requests the court's instructions on paying into court the $863.00 for the benefit and use of the Condemnees. 400 Certificate of Service I hereby certify that on the 2-0 day of September 2007, I served a true and correct copy of Condemnor's Motion for Rule to be Made Absolute for Writ of Possession by first class mail on the following: Jonas W. and Alta K.

On September 24, 2007, the Honorable M.L. Ebert, Jr. granted a Writ of Possession to Condemnor for its possession of temporary construction and permanent easements on Condemnee's property. A copy of the Writ is attached. 2. Condemnees are Jonas W. and Alta K. Nolt, 403 Centerville Road, Newville, PA 17241. 3. The Writ of Possession provides that the $863.00 owed to Condemnees as compensation for the easements be either paid to the Condemnees or paid into court for the use and benefit of the Condemnees. 4. Condemnor has offered to make the payment of $863.00 to Condemnees but Condemnees have refused to accept the payment. 5. Because of Condemnee's continued refusal to accept payment, Condemnor must make the payment into court as provided for by the Eminent Domain Code at 26 Pa. C.S.A. § 307 (a) (1) (iv). 6. The payment of $863.00 into court will be placed into the escrow account of the Prothonotary's Office and will be available to Condemnees upon their request. 7. The Prothonotary's Office has requested that the Writ of Possession be amended to state that the payment into court shall be made into the escrow account of the Prothonotary's Office. 8. Condemnees object to this Motion. Wherefore, Condemnor respectfully requests that an order be issued amending the Writ of Possession granted September 24, 2007, to provide that the payment into court be made to the escrow account of the Prothonotary's Office.
