New-York tribune. [volume] (New York [N.Y.]) 1866-1924, 1915-08-01
WILL APPEAL DECISION
City to Continue Fight in Con
demnation Proceedings.

The city will appeal from a decision
of the Appellate Division OF the Su-
preme Court in the Second Department
in the matter of the appointment OF
condemnation commissioners in Ely ay.,
Long Island City. The property own
ers in that street have been successful
both in the Supreme Court before JUS
tice Benedict and in the Appellate Di.
vision in opposing the appointment OF
commissioners.
Ely av. was one of the streets Sc
lected by the engineers of the Pubic
Service Commission through which was
10 be extended the elevated line con-
Meeting the greensboro Bridge plaza
and the Greensboro subway. 1t was
found that for a portion OF the street
the city did not nave title. 1t was
planned to take this by condemnation
proceedings and assess the cost OF the
taking upon the abutting property own
ers. At the same time the proceeding
was to include the entire section from
Jackson av. TO Mott av. Acquiring title
in this manner would relieve the city
from any claim of damages TO the
property owners for loss OF liGht and
access to their properties.
The property owners before the Su-
DEtiUe 1OuIt NAailNtu AhdN VIC IVY hN'
obtained title for ordinary street pur-
poses by using the street for period
longer than twenty years and by in
stalling all modern improvements, in
Guiding an asphalt pavement. But such
title by the city did not include the
right to construct an elevated railway.
The city would therefore be liable for
the consequential damages from the
70 iIuav construction 10 the prOperty.
This contention has thus far been up
held.
There are numerous streets in New
York City where similar conditions ex-
list. II the Ely av owners are finally
successful the city may be held liable
for damages in any of them both for
elevated and subway construction con-
sequential damage The aggregate OF
such damages would be very large,
particularly in the boroughs Of Man
haitian and Brooklyn IL is 70 avoid
such a contingency that the city pur-
poses TO appeal in this case.
