This Decision Said to Cover S4S. OoO 900
Worth or the water Front.
Henry w. Sage was tho owner Of certain land
on the Harlem River. between Ninety fourth
and Ninety fifth streets. This city, to carry out
its water front improvements, filed In a strip
In front of Mr.. Sage's property in what is known
az the "tideway." that is the land lying be-
tween the high and low water marks. Mr.. Sage
sued the city. contending that the owners of
land fronting on the river either owned tho land
in tho tdeway when 1t was filled in by the city.
or. II they did not own 1t. were entitled to tho
right Of access from the water to their own up
land. oven il that land should be held to extend
only TO high-water mark.
Justice Barrett. who tried the case, and tho
Appellate Division, on an appeal from Justice
Berrett's decision. held that the city had an alb
solute ownership OF all the land between high
and low water marks, and that the construct ton
OF an exterior street and bulkhead by the city
gave no right of action for damages to an owner
of the upland who by this construction was cut
off from the water. This decision has lust been
affirmed by the Court of Appeals.
The case Is of very far-reaching Importance as
1t affects all the land around Manhattan Island
which was formerly in the tideway, and which
is valued at over $45. 100000.
