LUND DISPUTE IT SO. HI Common Council to Heai Case of Mechanicsville Hose Co.; House in St.? [By Evening News Correspondent.] SOUTH AMBOY, July 12:—The matter of the ownership of property on Karitan street and Alpine street, sold by John J. O’Neal to the Me chanicsville Hose Company, will no doubt be threshed out tonight at the meeting of the common council when the question of the ownership Of the street is raised. Mr. O’Neal claims that the property belongs to him and is not a city street, but on the other hand City Engineer A. T. McMlchael and Attorney Leo J. Coakley, who is representing the hose company, claim it is a street and say that O'Neal did not havp title. The facts of the Case follow: In 1871 Mary J. Roll and Sarah Dey were the owners of all the prop erty now known as Mechanicsville and had the tract laid out into lots and blocks by A. J. Disbrow, civil engineer, and this map they adopted and used in the sale of the lots in the tract and while the map Is not now on record in the county clerk’s office many of the deeds given by Roll & Dey recite the fact that it is Sled there. The property in question was deeded by Roll & Dey to O’Neal in May, 1892 (twenty-one years after the date of the map), by warranty . deed and the description of the prop erty conveyed recites that It is ac cording to the Disbrow map. Refer ence to the map shows the existence of the street at this point and a sur vey of the property conveyed shows conclusively the conveyance of the Westerly end of Alpine street. O’Neal is the owner of the proper ties on both sides of Alpine street. The first deed in his chain of title Is 'from Roll & Dey in August, 1873, and recites that it conveys property lii Block D, according to the Disbrow map. The description states that the property begins at the corner of Alpine and Raritan streets and after running to the Fouratt property, which is in the rear of the property conveyed, the third course of the de scription states that it runs 100 feet to Alpine street, thence along Alpine street 105 feet, more or less, to Rar itan street, the place of beginning. This description is used in all the subsequent transfers of this property and was used by O’Neal himself when he not only sold the property but whan ha bought It All ot the conveyances In question were by warranty deed, and all state that the property conveyed Is according to the Dlsbrow map. 1 The de^d from O’Neal to the hose company also says that he conveys according to the Dlsbrow map. and that the map la on record In the Middlesex county clerk's office. This conveyance was made In January, 1921. The hose company let the contract for the building and after It was erected applied to the Investors & Owners Building Loan for a loan and It was while Mr. Coakley was mak ing the search for the building loan that the discrepancy was discovered. The opinion of Mr. Coakley that this property was a street was borne out by the survey of the city engineer and the matter was then brought to the attention of the common council by Mr. Coakley, with the request that the street be vacated at this point in order to clear up the title. Mr. McMichael claims that every map of the city shows the existence of Alpine street at this point and the heirs of the Rolls and Deys admit that the map does show this street but that it was not Intended to be used as a street at the time they sold it to O’Neal. The Fouratt family (the owners of property in the rear of this piece) claim that It was al ways a street and they insist that it be opened to travel. The action of the common council Is awaited with much interest by the public who are anxious to see the hose company re lieved of their difficulty. MORGAN Mrs. A. Morris and Mrs. F.
