Entailed Property Sheds Fire Restrictions After Sale
By the will of William L. Jones who died in 1886 in this city the real estate was entailed to his widow and daughter for life and then to grandchildren. A bill in Chancery led to a decree selling the property to Doctor Endicott for 17000, freeing it from restrictions and enabling the fire tenants to receive 17000 in interest. Supreme Court testimony concluded in another case against J M Low and Plainfield for water and sewer franchise, with final argument set for February term.
