ALTA VALENTINE, PLAINTIFF-APPELLANT, v. LESTER LAMONT AND MARION LAMONT, HIS WIFE, DEFENDANTS AND THIRD-PARTY PLAINTIFFS-RESPONDENTS, v. BOARD OF EDUCATION OF THE CITY OF JERSEY CITY, HUDSON COUNTY, A BODY CORPORATE, THIRD-PARTY DEFENDANTS-RESPONDENTS v. ANTHONY J. LAMONT, INTERVENOR-RESPONDENT.

Superior Court of New Jersey, Appellate Division.

Decided April 13, 1953.

Attorney(s) appearing for the Case

Mr. Louis G. Morten argued the cause for plaintiff-appellant.

Mr. Theodore Rabinowitz argued the cause for defendants and third-party plaintiffs-respondents, Lester Lamont and Marion Lamont.

Mr. Edmund S. Johnson argued the cause for intervenor-respondent Anthony J. Lamont.

Mr. Robert H. Doherty argued the cause for third-party defendant-respondent, Board of Education of Jersey City.

Before Judges EASTWOOD, GOLDMANN and FRANCIS.

The opinion of the court was delivered by GOLDMANN, J.A.D.

The basic question for determination on this appeal is the nature of the title acquired by the Board of Education of the City of Jersey City when it condemned the property in question for school purposes in 1922. The Law Division concluded that the board had acquired a fee simple absolute from plaintiff's ancestor, 20 N.J.Super. 454 (1952). We agree.
