The Palestine land court, after deliberating for 16 days, today ruled that the Haifa Bay lands, the ownership of wich had been in dispute between Jews and Arabs, is the property of Jewish bodies, being part of the land sold to them by the Sursuk family. The present Arab holders were ordered to leave and to pay the costs of the suit.
