COMMENT
In State v. Larson, 54 Wn.2d 86, 338 P.2d 135 (1959), the court held that a lease in which the state had agreed to pay ten cents per yard for gravel in place was properly excluded. The court stated that just compensation to the owner was what the owner had lost and not what the condemnor had gained.
