U.S. Supreme Court WAITE v. U. S., 282 U.S. 508 (1931)
[Page 282 U.S. 508, 509]
The statute grants 'recovery of his reasonable and entire compensation for such use.' We are of opinion that interest should be allowed in order to make the compensation 'entire.' In addition to the purpose of the word adverted to in Richmond Screw Anchor Co. v. United States, 275 U.S. 331, 343, 48 S. Ct. 194, we cannot doubt that it was intended to accomplish complete justice as between the plaintiff and the United States. See Seaboard Air Line R. Co. v. United States, , 43 S. Ct. 354; Brooks-Scanlon Corporation v. United States, 265 U.S. 106, 44 S. Ct. 471; Liggett & Myers Tobacco Co. v. United States, 274 U.S. 215, 47 S. Ct. 581; Phelps v. United States, 274 U.S. 341, 47 S. Ct. 611
Judgment reversed.
