You're right about Ellis Island...I believe that New York got the lions share of Ellis. I've been under the impression that there was a discussion of the division of Liberty Island in that case, but I may be incorrect.. Is anyone aware of any litigation still pending?Bill-----Original Message-----

Subject: Re: [BoundaryPoint] Quiz questionHm. I know there was a dispute settled by the US Supreme court about 5 years ago over Ellis Island (New Jersey v. New York, 523 US 767 (1998)), but I didn't know that there was also a judicial resolution to the dispute over Liberty Island, as well.I do know that as recently as 1989, a New Jersey congressman (who's name escapes me at the moment) was trying to bring some kind of legislative action against NY over the sales tax collected at the concession stands at Liberty Island (known as Bedloe's Island prior to 1956, incidentally), but I can't find anything on the Internet regarding the outcome of that action.Jon----- Original Message -----From: Bill HanrahanSent: Monday, September 23, 2002 5:16 PMSubject: RE: [BoundaryPoint] Quiz questionAnd settled by the U.S. Supreme Court.-----Original Message-----
