A Sydney man hud the extraordinary experience recently, of learning after he had built a £3OOO apartment lioti.se on a water frontage at Watson’s Bay, that the land upon which he had erected the building was not his property, but that of another person (writes a correspondent). The mistake was discovered when the real owner of the block of land was asked to contribute half the cost towards the erection of a dviiding fence. It was Minn, found that the builder of the house, who actually owned the adjoining' block, had mistaken his area ■of land, and was so confident, that it was his property that he had failed to take the usual steps which would have guarded against the regrettable error. The tangle was straightened out by the house' owner being allowed to purchase the land. FOR all social and commercial printing, ring the Times Office, Telephone 2.
