I.
Defendant admits the allegations of Section I of the Declaration referring to Fred GUTHRIE as Executor and Testamentary Trustee of the Estate of A. A. Guthrie, Deceased, and to allegations of ownership of land, but a more detailed description of the land taken is hereinafter set out.
II.
Defendant demands strict proof of the allegations set out in Section II of the Declaration.
III.
Defendant avers that it has constructed a sewer line, as designed by its engineers, across a portion of Plaintiffs' land. However, it did so by agreement with Fred Guthrie, Executor of the Estate of A. A. Guthrie, Deceased, that the Executor, and City would later negotiate the amount of damages. The parties have been unable to do so and accordingly this suit has been filed.
The City of Cleveland, Tennessee, avers that the easement is necessary to properly operate and maintain the sewer line and will need 15 feet in width and 503.5 feet in length.
Defendant denies that Plaintiff and Cross-Defendants have suffered the damages set forth in the Declaration, either for the actual taking of their land or for any alleged incidental damages, and demand proof thereof.
IV.
And now, having answered as completely as it is advised is necessary, the City of Cleveland, Tennessee, assumes the role of Cross-Petitioner, and adopts the foregoing averments as completely as if set out verbatim herein. Cross-Petitioner further avers that it is necessary that the City of Cleveland, Tennessee, have an easement for sewer line purposes across the land of Cross-Defendants, which land is generally described as bounded on the North, East, and West by Guthrie, and on the South by Fredrick Street. The portion of land taken for sewer assessment purposes is situated in the Fourth Civil District of Bradley County, Tennessee, and more particularly described as follows, to-wit:

Beginning at a point in the North line of a roadway which point is North 67 deg. 17 min. West 96.2 feet from the Southwest corner of Fred Guthrie. Said easement needed for said sewer line is 15 feet in width and lies 7 1/2 feet on either side of the center line, which point of beginning is as aforesaid and runs thence North 38 deg. 42 mins. East 303.5 feet to a point in the West line of Fred Guthrie.
V.
Cross-Petitioner avers that it is willing to pay fair market value of the land taken, and incidental damages, if any, which are not offset by incidental benefits.
PREMISES CONSIDERED, Cross-Petitioner prays:
1. That a copy of this Cross-Petition be served upon Cross-Defendants, Fred Guthrie, T. E. Guthrie, T. A. Guthrie, James A. Guthrie, L. C. Guthrie, Lydia Guthrie, Clarence Guthrie, Robert Trotter, Josephine Brady, and Elmer Guthrie.

2. That the Non-resident Cross-Defendants, to-wit: Dee Guthrie, Pearl Cluck, Harvey Fry, Jr., Billy Fry, Frances Hughes, and Florence Higdon, be served by publishers.
3. That all necessary and proper proceedings be had herewith for the condemnation and appropriation for the strip of land herein described for the purposes set out herein and that the same be set apart by notes and bounds according to the statutes in such cases made and provided, and that the same be decreed to your Cross-Petitioner at the final hearing.
4. That Cross-Petitioner have such other and further general relief to which it may be entitled under the facts and law of the same.
