We are well aware of the distinction between this case and cases we have just cited and discussed. Nevertheless, the common thread which runs through all of them is that just compensation requires a result which is "just' both to an owner whose property is taken and to the public that must pay the bill.' (United States v. Commodities Corp., 339 U.S. 121, 123, 70 S.Ct. 547, 549, supra.)
