So Thore's a Battle About Land in U.S.

TRENTON, N. J. (UP)-New Jersey is preparing to renew its fight with Delaware over the boundary ling between the states, as fixed nearly 200 years ago,

The ligation resulled from a carelessly-drawn charter signed by King Charles II of England deeding a tract of land to his brother, James, which took in the shoreline in a 12-mile radius from New Castle, Del.

The U. S. Supreme Court in 1934 decided a boundary dispute in favour of Delaware, but last year an old deed and surrender were found in which James turti- ed the lands back to King Charles.

New Jersey officials appropri- ated $2,500 to bring William Lehardy. London document ex- pert, to this country, and he m tablished authenticity of the documents.

New Jersey hopes to get riglita to shore lands, off which are valuable fishlar grounds.
