1T is NEW JEKsEY's GODDESS.
The BarthOldi Statue Coded with Bed
lOe's Island and Other Land.

While New York has been busy reaching out
after the worlds fair in the interest of the
whole country, says New York dispatch to the
Philadelphia Press, the cunning Jerseyman
has been reaching out after worldly
possessions. He wanted Bedloes Island and
Robbins Reef, and now he has got them,
Statue of Liberty, lighthouse and all. This
deed of annexation has been done through the
joint boundary commission appointed under
authority of the legislatures of New York and
New Jersey in 1887 to locate definitely the line
between the two states. which had been more
or less in dispute for more than one hundred
years.
A royal commission first located the line in
1863, but 1t did SO with largeness of express
sion that left the question unsettled. Another
commission was appointed in 1884. This com
mission decided that the boundary line should
be the middle of Hudson river and New York
bay to the sea. This seemed clear and def
mite enough, but it was not long before new
disputes arose. The bed of Raritan bay became
valuable as an oyster planting ground, and the
uncertainty as to jurisdiction led to frequent
disputes and sometimes to bloodshed
The line now agreed upon sweeps east of
Robbins Reef lighthouse and includes not only
that and Bedloe's Island, but Ellis Island.
Oyster Island and all the bay west of them
making them New jersey property The
land, with that Ill Kill Won Kull, is of enormous
value.

government reservation and no more belongs
