The State of New York has undertaken to appropriate for the development of a power project Barnhart’s Island in the St. Lawrence River; the bed of the river; and intrinsic water power in the river surrounding the island. The St. Regis Tribe of Mohawk Indians, alleging an interest in the appropriated property, has filed a claim for damages for $33,800,000 in the Court of Claims. The State’s motion to dismiss the claim has been denied and the court has held that the claim states a good cause of action which has not been released and which is prosecuted by competent and proper parties.
