RIPARIAN LANDS
VERY PROFITABLE
State Already Deriving Annual
Income of Over 100000
From Grants

TRENTON. Aug. 2S-An annuai
revenue of over $S,000.0 900 Is being
realized from New Jerseys new policy
OF leasing instead of selling riparian
lands, although It n only been IN
operation since last February. Just
the thirty-two leases authorized in
the past six months will result in a
total revenue for the state during the
life of the leases of over a half mill
lion dollars. In addition to this an
nual income. which in so short a
period as ifteen years will exceed
the total amount which would have
gone into the public treasury nder

Advocated as q part of the program

ernor Edges knscpace, lkcltk .nfvAiro
Legislature last wintSS The legis-
lIature passed a permissfVs~act. Chap
ter 81, early in the session, ar1 Gov
ernor Edge signed 1t on FebruarS2.
The Governor and the Board OF
Commerce and Navigation immedi-
ately agreed pom a plan calling for
a lease to run sixty years. The basic
or capital sum was fixed in the lease
and stands for the first twenty years.
This capital sum is the product of
/ the lineaI feet on the bulkhead line
! and the price a lineal foot fixed by
f, the board. and at the end of the twen-
ty, thirty, forty and f1fty-year periods,
respectively, of the lease, the state re-
! values the land leased and fixes a new
/ capital sum.
Since the rental is seven per cent q
year on this capital sum-. which is, OF
course, the same as the total con-
sideration would be for a grant In fee
under the old system, The state gets
! the estimated sale price of the land
every fifteen years and still retains
title.
IT am naturally pleased with the
| splendid way in which the new plan
is working out" declared Governor
Edge In commenting on h report
"It Is a simple application of ordi-
nary business principles to one state
function, which will show it's effec-
t~iveness in millions of dollars OF div
blends to the public treasury as the
board meets the continued demand
for riparian lands. We formerly gave
the water front away for a song. Now
we keep the land, which may be i'm
mensely valuable some day, and OBJ
tain milliosA in revenue.
ut seems eSat the three chief adj
lvantages of theSaew leasing plan are
these" Governor> Edge continued:
! First, the state, DIFFERENTIATION in
the twenty, thirty. fork and fifty
year periods, shares In thu advance
in values of shore front praSerties
during the life of the lease; see2nd.
the state obtains O. return OF sevsS
per cent a year on the capital sum
during the life Of the lease and
third, at the end Of sixty years all of
the land leased, with the improve
ments thereon, reverts to the state"
