 To his Excellency Robert S. Green , Governor , and Hon. E. J. Ander- 
 son , Comptroller of the State of New Jersey : 
 
 The undersigned agents of the State of New Jersey, appointed by 
 your Excellency to acquire, by purchase, for the public use of the 
 State as a military encampment for the military forces of the State, 
 all that certain tract of land situate at Sea Girt, in the township of 
 Wall, in the county of Monmouth, and State of New Jersey, de- 
 scribed in the act by virtue of which said appointment was made, 
 being an act entitled “A supplement to an act entitled ‘An act to 
 take for public use a tract of land on the Atlantic coast, in the county 
 of Monmouth, and to vacate the streets and ways thereon, and to 
 take and extinguish certain easements thereon and therein/ approved 
 February twenty-first, one thousand eight hundred and eighty-eight,” 
 which supplemental act was approved May ninth, anno domini one 
 thousand eight hundred and eighty-nine, immediately after their 
 appointment as such agents, proceeded to perform the duties imposed 
 upon them by said act, and they hereby, on this sixth day of December, 
 anno domini one thousand eight hundred and eighty-nine, respectfully 
 report that they have been unable to discover and agree with the 
 owners and incumbrancers of and upon the land described in said act, 
 for the purchase thereof, and they further report that there appears 
 upon record in the Court of Chancery of New Jersey, in a suit wherein 
 Elleston P. Marsh et al. are complainants, and The Sea Girt Land 
 Improvement Company are defendants, an injunction granted by said 
 court, on the sixteenth day of February, one thousand eight hundred 
 and eighty-six, perpetually enjoining the said company from doing 
 any act or thing to or towards vacating any of the streets, alleys, 
 public grounds, or any part of the town plot of Sea Girt, and from 
 disposing of the lands which are described in the act aforesaid, for 
 the purpose of a rifle range, &c., or for auy other purpose inconsistent

 or any part thereof, free from the easements and servitudes of the 
 streets, avenues and alleys shown on a map or plan filed in the clerk's 
 office of the county of Monmouth, including the streets and ways set 
 forth in the said supplemental act, which injunction would seem, at 
 this time, to prevent the owners and incumbrancers from making and 
 executing valid conveyances and releases to the State, to vest the title 
 to said lands in the State free and clear from all incumbrances.
