The lands referred TO certain shoals anu rocks sur
wounded Inv shosl water in Bay in the neigh
borhood OF Commuuipaw. and CaveLs Point and not
far from Bedoes Island The scheme Is said 10 Do vast
in all its qualifications II proposes that Tue h'ar'an

acnusit,on would probably justified by some on the
ground of the sovereign right Of the state TO seize ana
condemn unclaimed property If 1t was not FOR certain
Board OF State Propretors which long ago claimed ana
sold these very rocks shoals to private individuals
WIN are now reported TO those urging the pas
sage Of this bill, and whose legal counse are ihtoou
credited with It's authorship though not with the actai
work of drawing There are alleged 10 pe REASONS or
suspectlng IL the Riparian Commission seized upon
these lands" they Called the grantees under 'ne
proprietors would get very liberal sum Tor the eA-
nguishment their titles The provision hatsthe city
OF Jersey City should receive part of the money PAID 10
the Riparian Commission when the lana Is sofa UT ea'c'
is doubtless intended bait to catch Jersey Ciy 'oos
aud get the Governors approval THIS portion Oh 'he
bill simply means that part Of the Riparian tuhd now
devoted to the school interests shall be paid over TO
Jersey City, and the additional proviso concerning
grants heretofore would extend the claim OF the
city to hundreds OF thousands OF dollars Tor
which has already absorbed into the state ocnoo
Fund and which refused by Jersey City years ago
In brief the bill would practically require the trustees OF
the School Fund to pay over an unlimited ana unknown
sum to Jersey City, 1t 10 proposed, however TO amend
IL 80 as make the amount not more tlah SZoo'ooo
Thus 1t seems whether not the State should be
able to sell rocks and shoals which 1t Is proposedt 10
take it would any be made tn pay vast sum to
Jersey City for lands heretofore taken The bill mas
mot vet been discussed and its true inwarness can
not be known fDr the present; but that II is gigantic
scheme and from which somebody expects TO reap
great profit apparent The strongest advocates OF the
measure so Jersey CITY representatives ana per-
sons believed to have an Interest In the Old FRO
