100000 To Be Saved
by Gowanus Bay Land
Decision
Hughes's First Defeat
Former Supreme Court JUS
tice Argued Case in
Court Of Appeals

Albany. July 11.-Annulling the
largest judgment ever entered against
the State of New York, the Court of
Appeals to-day laid down principles
affecting the value Of lands under wa
ter which will save the state a sum
estimated in excess of s15,000,000
The decision was made in the case
Of the First Construction Company Of
Brooklyn, which claimed to be the
absolute owner of lands under water
in Gowanus Bay taken for Barge
Canal purposes. On this contention II
was awarded s1,OS1,111, with interest
for two years, total recovery Of ST.
2s3,219.
Former Supreme Court Justice
Charles Z. Hughes experienced his first
defeat since returning TO the practise
of law in this decision. Mr.. Hughes
was retained TO argue the case in the
Court of Appeals. He was opposed by
Sanford w. Smith, First Deputy Attor-
ney General, who handled the case for
the state.
New-York tribune., 1917-07-12
Other Lands Affected

Attorney General Merton f. Lewis,
who carried the case from the lower
courts, pointed out tonight that the
decision would affect the value of all
state for Barge Canal purposes in the
vicinity Of New York City, where four
teen terminals are to be located. The
value Of these lands in a large number
of cases is in litigation.
The First Construction Company, OF
which former Senator William II. Rey-
nolds is president, claimed ownership
Of all the lands taken by the state by
virtue of legislative grants made prior
TO 1884. The old Board of Claims sus-
tanned this claim TO the extent of l.
442,022 square feet and allowed the
company compensation at the rate Of
rs cents a square foot.
Court Points to Error
The Court of Appeals holds that this
was error; that the company was the
owner of only a small part, and as 70
the rest had only secured from the
state the right TO acquire title by filing
in the lands under water, which had
never been done, although thirty years
had elapsed since the right was
granted.
The court further holds that failure
10 comply with the conditions Of the
grant requiring filling in rendered the
company liable to forfeiture as nom
user, and that the compensation to be
awarded should be measured by the
value of such right or franchise and
not upon the theory that the company
was the absolute owner Of the prop
crty.
The case is sent back to the Court
of Claims TO determine what compensa-
tion. if any, the claimant is entitled 10
on the theory laid down by the Court
of Appeals.
