Andrew b. Duvali. the Attorney for the
District, yesterday submitted to the Com
missioners an opinion upon the communi-
cation of S. NJ. Ely calling attention to
the fact that the area OF lots 81 and 90,
Kings subdivision of Long Meadows,
has been substantially decreased and one
of said lots rendered useless by the i'm
proper location of King Street.
The situation complained Of says
Mr.. Duvall, results from a most curious
mistake in locating the ground King
Street in this subdivision. which covers
land north and south of said street. 1t
appears that King Street, as 1t has been
built. upon both sides. is actually about
twenty feet north of its record position.
the result being that too much ground
has been given to the subdivision south
OF King Street and too little to the north
thereof. All the houses north of said
street are located by measurement from
this incorrect location and a conse-
Guence there is a loss in lots 81 and 81 at
the north end of the subdivision.
While the Commissioners may be au-
thorized to correct the location of King
street, Mr.. Duvall is unable to advise
that they have authority to rectify the
present existing situation and afford any
relief to the applicant, in view Of the
actual occupation of the ground by
buildings. Mr.. Duvall says it is his opin-
ion that the matter now resolves itself
into the establishment of the private
right of the applicant.
