The quotation referred TO is the familiar

The owners of the West End Cottage and
Casino Company, when they purchased the
cottages and casino from the Maze Realty
Company. had assigned TO them the ri
parian lease given TO the Hildreths in 1886.
They claim title not only to the West Emo
cottages tract of ocean front. but also the
riparian right in front OF the West Hotel or
Hotel Tallahassee property, which covers
$50 feet, Judge Heisley disy sites the title.
When seen tonight he said:
