THE RIVER FRONT.
In tho Supreme Court at White Plains yester-
day Judge Dykman handed down a decision In favor

Yonlcrs upon which are erected portion Of the rail-
road yards The suit test case, and Is but a
preliminary TO other actions about to be begun by
Yonkers property owners TO determine the title to
lands along the river front which the railroad com
PAW claims. The decision Is an Important ono. be-
cause II affects the cOmpanys claim to ownership Of
lands along the entire river front from NcwYork to
Albany.
In 1916 the company laid ont strip Of lands for
It's tracks sxtt-sx feet in width. In 1857 another
survey was made and maps fled whereby additional
lands were taken for the cOmpany's use under the
railroad laws. Yonkers property owners said they
knew nothing Of this. In 1878 the company applied
for 200 feet more OF river front, which was granted by
the Land Commissioners. Through taking In other
strips of land by running straight lines at curves and
filing In gradually the the east SIDE Of the
tracks the company acquired land, and new maps
were made and filed in the County Clerks Office. This
land was improved by The railroad authorities
Recently the owners Of property along the river
front waated TO open street In Yonhers parallel with
the river s. az to give them additional street front
on their property. The railroad company opposed
their application before tie Common Council and
claimed title to the land along the river where Oc
cupled for railroad purposes. Hence the suit which
