an act empowering the Riparian Commissioners to
reduce the width OF the waterway 10 200 feet. This
act was signed by the Governor on the same day
that he approved the act giving the city Its grant
but the latter was signed few hours later than
the former. and as map was filed showing the

grant having been sustained by the courts the act
reducing the width OF the waterway was unlawful
