City Claims Half Fort Site In Rockaway Point Dispute

Attorney General Woodbury states much of the fort site at Rockaway Point belongs to the City of New York not private sellers. A state court report projects little of the 2.5 million dollars set aside will reach present title claimants. Title work continues under Henry H Cameron with Anson Getman and Alfred Becker directing. The case centers on whether lands within the fort site between high and low water marks on the Jamaica Bay side belong to the city or state and whether the end of the point west of the fort is owned by the state or Rockaway Pacific Corporation.
