THIRTEEN YEARS IN THE COURTS
An Example of Prolonged Litigation in This
City.

An example OF the laws delay in New-York
County. of which the commission appointed by
Governor Oden might take notice is found in a
suit TO obtain title 20 property consisting OF two
lots in Eighth-ave. between One-hundreda nd fifty
fifth and Observation-Disclosures SITS. which
Mrs. Sarah Lynch agreed by contract 10 sell to
Michael H Hafey February 81 1889. This suit
has been in the for thirteen years and does
not seem 10 be much nearer end than when It
started.
The contract provided that Mrs. Lynch should
give to Mr. Haffey a deed OF the property on
March II. 1889. and that the property should be
conveyed 70 him free Of all encumbrances. The
price of the property $3.50. and Mr. Haffey
paid s5. 10 per cent and costs. when the contract
was made. the remainder OF the purchase money
to be paid the delivery of the deed \ lis pen
dens on the property prevented Mrs. Lynch from
giving a clear title at the time agreed. and five
months later Mr.. Hafey brought suit to compel
her to comply with the terms Of the contract. He
won his suit in the Supreme Court after a long
5ic deisy The The case I was taken to the appellate D
1S9i the Court of Appeals decided in Mr.. Haffey's
favor, and ordered new trial In the Supreme
Court again the has been running its weary
course. and Justice Scott has given decision that
property. which is still in the control of the Lynch
Justice Scott, however decides that the case must
go 10 referee TO determine certain facts at issue
and for an accounting and after the reference is
ended there may be another appeal. The decision
is that the plaintiff must pay the balance Of the
time the deed should have been given to him. He
IhuSt also pay all taxes ana assessments on tne
property since the time of the contract to pur-
chase. less any extra charges arising out OF the
failure of the defendant to pay such taxes and
assessments when they became due. He is entitled
however, to receive with his deed any rentals
which the property has paid since he made the
tract to purchase it II it appears that there have
been returns from the property he gets, what
may be estimated to be its rental value during the
thirteen years in which he is charged with the
taxes and assessments. He have no additional
sum, the ground that the property has been
damaged in value, because it appears that the
damage was inflicted by order of the Health Board
and for sanitary reasons The taxes on the prop
erty have not been paid for several years.

NO HARM IN RIDGEWOOD WATER.
Health Board Official Explains Why Brook

Residents of those parts of Brooklyn which get

people have been complaining strongly of late. and
some of them have been under the impression the
trouble had increased during the last few weeks.
The public has been repeatedly assured in the
five ten years by officials of the Health Depart
ment that these conditions. whether in Manhattan
or Brooklyn were not in the slightest degree per-
nicious- They do not constitute a menace. Still,

The Ridgewood reservoir is supplied from several
sources. Some OF the water comes from ponds on
