N.Y. CENTRAL TITLE TO WEST SIDE LAND “PRONOUNCED GOOD : pee ee Comptroller Prendergast An- swers Evening World Question No, 6, CITY IS SAFEGUARDED. Law Protects People, Courts Have Ruled on Similar Cases, and | To the Editor of The Evening World: Tho sixth question in The Evening World's series relative to the west | side improvement was as follows: “How good ts the railroad company's title to all the lands valued at $11,000,- 000 it proposes to sell to:the pity?” The answer to this question Ts that the railroad’s title le good. Therefore it oan give good title to the city when the exchange of lands under the contract occurs, But before I go into the details of my answer let me correct the figures given in the question. The value of the lands, rigkts and easements which the elty will acquire from the railroad 14 not $11,000,000 but $4,984,482. ‘This figure of approximately $5,000,000 includes easements and rights of way which the raflroad now possesses in perpetuity, and which will be relin- quished, amounting in value to $1,967,- \ 995, Thus it will appear that the city will acquire from the railroad prop- erty in fee having a value of approxi- mately $3,000,000, Now let me dis- cuss the ability of the company to convey this land to the city and to give the city good title. BOARD GOT HIGH EXPERT OPIN- ION. This whole matter was the subject of very serious discussion in the early part of our negotiations with the railroad. On April 18, 1916, Mr. Hardy, the Corporation Counsel, sent to the Board of Estimate a memo- randum, consisting of nearly twenty | printed pages, dealing with this mat- |ter in great detail, This memoran- jdum is included in the report of the }Committee on Port and Terminal | Facilities of the Board of Estimate, | dated April 22 of last year, and can be consulted by those who would like to read a lawyer's statement of the « I may say that the titles were 1 by expert title examiners of the city who secured a# the result of civil ser- ations, Most of them perience as examiners for the largest title Insurance companies. Ido not know that more expert title searching is available. | RAILROAD HAS RIGHT TO PASS TITLE, HE SAYS.’ It appears that the title of the rail- road company to its right of way is | 1 chiefly on th sion of venty have y mind would hich to the | \ppear that the land had snveyed by. the original owners ratiroad for strictly, railroad to the purposes, Some people have assumed that this restriction by the sellers of ty to the railroad makes it for the New York Central fe title to somebody else who does not wish to use the land for rallroad purposes, But that is not the fact. There are many decisions by the courts of this State to the ef- fect that such clauses are not condi- tions which act upon any future pur- h and do not prevent t from conveying full tit is, | suppose, that the orig r could limit the railroad in i ‘of the land but cannot limit the ts under the law which @ pur- chaser from the railroad of the same | land should enjoy. | "Tn addition to the parcels acquired by the railroad and for which tt has deeds, there are five which it acquired tn. condemnation proceedings. ‘The railroad secured the right to con- demn land by an act of the Legisia- ture in 1846 as amended two years later. So there can be no question about the titles to land acquired in accordance with that law, HOW “ADVERSE POSSESSION” BECOMES VALID TITLE, | There were eleven parcels of land |in addition to those acquired by deed |and by condemnation to which the |raflroad has no record title ‘at all, but the facts are that the railroad has been In continuous occupation of these lands for nearly seventy years. Now (Tip-Top or facts testify: look at it, it is the cheapest money can buy. Do pe Waste the “Heels” | of the Loaves? yu may not, but some do, and | whether you do or not, you should remember that the ten cent loaf of | WARD’S BREAD The ten cent loaf has numerous other advantages as these It keeps fresh longer than the small loaf, and it slices, butters and toasts better. Its flavor and texture | are better and its eating qualities superior. Every way you Dainty-Maid) has but two “heels,” whereas two |] small loaves have four. The ten cent | loaf of TIP-TOP or DAINTY-MAID, | therefore, has more dough and less | crust than two small loaves and is | the economical loaf to buy, and most nutritious food your the law in such cases is that continu- ous occupation establishes a title. This is what js known os the acqu!- sition of title by verse possession.” J am told that the owner of a piece of land must be careful about permitting unrestricted passage across it, be- cause a path soon becomes a road, | and, after it has been used for a cer. years, he finds that loot hie title to, the land 80 west of all of whioh be- ani long to private owners, | ne Court of Appeals has decided cases similor to that Involved tn the New York Central rights of way in the manner I have mentioned. | FIVE LAWYERS’ REASONS WHY TITLE 18 GOOD. The Corporation Counsel's opinion carries five general conclusions, which I y summarize in the fol- lowing wa First—Wherever the right of way ts constructed upon fund formerly und | water belonging to the City of New {York, but subject to the railroads right of occupancy for railroad pur- poses, the city's Ulle is cleared as \soon as the railroad stops using it. Second—Wherever the railroad has acquired lands under deeds conveying the property for railroad purposes, the company cay convey @ good ttle to the Third —- Wherever the raflroad has acquired lands by condemnation pro- ceedings, the company can convey good title to the city. Fourth—Wherever the railroad oc- cupies lands to which it has no record title, and has acquired title by adverse possession, it can convey good title to the city. |, Fijth—Wherever the railroad has acquired lands by deeds which inclu no restrictions, it can convey good title to the city. My advice from the Corporation Counsel is, therefore, that the New York Central o convey good title to the city in every case involved in the contract, WM. A. PRENDERGAST, Comptroller.
