In the Matter of the Application of the City of Syracuse, Respondent, to Acquire Lands. Benedict F. Haberle…

Summary

The Court held that the 1907 Syracuse sewer statute vested title in the city upon filing the commissioners' oath, making the taking complete and precluding the city from discontinuing the condemnation proceeding; the special statute therefore supersedes the general Condemnation Law, and the lower courts' orders permitting discontinuance were reversed.
