MANNING CLAY LAND
VERDICT SET ASIDE

Trenton, Nov. 16:-On the
ground of an erroneous charge by
the trial Judge, the Court of Errors
and Appeals has set aside a verdict
in the condemnation proceedings in
stituted on behalf of the New Jer-
sey Short Line Railroad Company to
acquire possession of about two
acres of land belonging to Mariana
w. Manning in Middlesex county.
The appeal was taken by the woman
and her tenant, Andrew Junker.
The evidence showed that practi-
cally the entire tract was underlaid
with a deposit Of clay which consti-
tuted the principal element of value
In the property. For the complain
ants it was ~contended that the con-
demnation of the land would carry
with 1t an obligation upon abutting
owners to support literally the rail
road property, together with any ad-
d%ittonal weight which might be
placed upon it for railroad pur-
poses. The effect of such an obIiga-
ton would prevent the digging OF
clay for some distance on either side
of the tracks unless a retaining wall
was built.
The trial judge charged that there
would be no such obligation upor
the owners of the property adjacent
to that condemned, and consequent.
ly that element was not considered
In awarding the damages. This in.
struction the Court of Errors helt
to be erroneous.

Special to the EVENING NEWS.

Spectdt TO the EVENING NEWS.
Woodbridge, Nov. 16:-The sol
diers' and sailors monument to bs
erected in Woodbridge will be placed
at Main street and Railway avenue
This was. definitely decided at q
meeting of the location and design
committee held in the Kingwood A,
c. rooms last night. The design
submitted by Thomas Jardine & Son,
OF halfway, was accepted at the
same time. The work will now pro-
coed rapidly until the monument is
unveiled.
There We're four designs submit
tee to the committee to pass upon

top of the banner which will be
held by a standard-bearer. 1t will
