OPINION OF THE COURT

Memorandum

CARTER, J.

Defendant herein appeals from a judgment of the Superior Court of Alameda County in favor of plaintiff, awarding $7,500 for the damages allegedly sustained by plaintiff as the result of the construction of a subway in the street fronting her property. This is one of a series of similar cases in which the facts, rights and liabilities, are substantially the same. All material legal questions here presented are disposed of in a decision this day filed in the case of Rose [19 Cal.2d 876] v. State of California, No. 16040, ante, p. 713 [123 PaCal.2d 505]. Upon the authorities there cited and for the reasons there given, the judgment herein is affirmed.

Shenk, J., Curtis, J., and Houser, J., concurred.
