<div id="ygrps-yiv-1787788684">this 1852 federal case<br/>
especially on pages 90 & 94 & 96<br/>

makes it clear njpa was a full river condo except for<br/>
the allocated islands <br/>
& still without any hint of a midline delineation at<br/>
that time<br/>
<br/>
<br/>
some of the refs i have given are even recited there <br/>
but still more telling is the point made by the court<br/>
that the original njpa condominial & allocational<br/>
agreements<br/>
were between the 2 sovereign states of nj & pa<br/>
as successors to a 1771 njpa interprovincial compact<br/>
to the same effect <br/>
but recognizing then in the mid 1780s no common<br/>
superior at all<br/>
& not affected by any provision afterwards contained<br/>
in the constitution of the usa <br/>
<br/>
which i take to mean nj & pa brought their peculiar<br/>
condo into the union with them <br/>
a very few years later<br/>
presumably to forever remain a condo unless & until a<br/>
congressionally ratified interstate compact changed<br/>
that fact by legally establishing a different state<br/>
line delineation than <br/>
just <br/>
the river itself<br/>
like say right down the middle of the main channel<br/>
such as was in fact done for nypa in 1890<br/>
<br/>
but it is just this agreement that still eludes me for<br/>
njpa if it exists for njpa<br/>
despite the fact that a deliberate looking njpa state<br/>
line is shown there on practically all maps<br/>
<br/>
what fun<br/>
