delivered the opinion of the court:

The files in the case do not disclose very many facts upon which the court can consider the actual damage, but it appears that the District Engineer of Highways and the Attorney General’s office are of the opinion that ,an allowance should be made. The claim is for $180.00 and the Attorney General suggests that $75.00 is a reasonable amount to allow.

Therefore the court recommends that claimant be allowed the sum of Seventy-five ($75.00) Dollars.
