Granting Of Perpetual Fran-
chises by Riparian Body
Goes Right Along.
50 SINCE YEAR BEGAN
Precious Water Front Belonging
to State Given Away to Cor
porations, Despite Public
Protest as Impropriety Is
Clearly Apparent.

In spite of the opposition expressed
by the people of Hudson County and
throughout the State and the scandal
1t has created for years past, the State
Riparian Commission is still issuing
perpetual grants at the same ole stand
in the Commercial Trus. building, Jer-
sey City. In all thirty-six perpetual
grants have been issued since the first
of the year; three leases have also been
issued and five conversions made on the
terms of old leases. Several minor
licenses and permissions make the sum
total of the acts of the commission for
the first eight months of 1907.
The members of the commission have
never permitted an opportunity to issue
a grant slip by without giving a per-
petual deed for some portion of the
States water front TO some corporation
or private individual. At every meet
ing at least one grant has been issued
and at the meeting on May 23 ten such
grants were issued
Various rates are charged, the prices,
according to the records of the COM
mission being from one cent per square
foot for property in Cape May County
to $3.50 lineal foot for water front on
the Hudson River.
Two transactions found in the records
of the commission during the period
mentioned illustrates the improperly of
the issuance of perpetual grants or
leases with an option to purchase at a
stated figure at the pleasure of the
lessee.
On April 25 the commission granted
the Bulls Ferry Chemical Company a
lease on 1896 feet of Hudson River
water front in Bergen County at $3.50
a lineal foot for which an annual rental
of $3,45S.70 is being charged. The COM
pany has the privilege of purchasing
this property at its pleasure at $49, ,410.
On July l, 1882, the late Catherine
King leased 353.S1 feet of land on the
Hudson River, paying a rental of per
cent of the purchase price, $17, ,69050,
stipulated in the lease, and on August
8, of the present year, John Alsop King
was granted a conversion of the title
to this property in perpetuity for the
figure named. The price is quoted at
$50 lineal foot. During the time the
State has received about $25,000 in rem
tails, which now cease.
In some instances the commission has
adhered strictly to the lineal foot rate
even to the penny especially where the
grants were issued to municipalities,
but in one instance where a corpora
tion was the grantee $3.50 was cut from
the purchase price.
The following is a list of the COM
missions transactions since January 1
last as recorded at the office of John
G.. Payne, secretary of the commission.
January 17--Cape May Real Estate Com
pany, grant $4,000; Atlantic Ocean and
thoroughfares.
