Livingston Manor Real Estate at Jeopardy in Suit
Word comes from Livingston Manor Sullivan county that all real estate titles in the section may be jeopardized by a viedment pro ceedings brought by one of the Livingston settlers heirs against the Ontario Western Railway. If plaintiffs succeed and the railway loses, every lot or farm owner could owe land dues or face dispossession. The suit unsettles a community with summer cottages, hunting lodges and a storied estate. Some say a missing heir’s absence may have blocked previous settlement, while under current law a sale could settle the estate and set aside the missing heir’s share. The railroad right of way and facilities through the Livingston tract are targeted by the action.

Trend of Thought in National Lines Albany Dec 24
Albany December 24 It is believed that at the forthcoming session of the Legislature the annual talk to repeal the buck statute will not be more reduced this year and if a repeal is will receive scant support. The Federal Government calling attention to the need of conserving deer supply during the war by refraining from killing deer is those States that still permit their hunting has impressed itself upon people who are now on to the claims of the martian's need rather than in terms of local, county and State spheres. Take it all in all, the same legislation enacted by the 1917 Legislature is regarded as progressive, the repeal of the Duck law being seated and the migratory waterfowl law made to conform with the Federal step will be to change dates on shore birds and the species that may be hunted. There is little likelihood that the suspension of the game laws for the period of the war, as suggested by Prof. F. E. Moon of the New York State College of Forestry and others, will be given serious consideration in view of the necessity of conserving our wild game supply.
