Opinion

Edwards, J.

This is a dispute over a boundary line between 2 resort neighbors who own cottages front *475 ing on Tawas bay in Iosco county. The history of the dispute goes back to February 3, 1943, when the plaintiffs and appellants herein, Mr. and Mrs. Langschwager, became owners of 453 feet of beach frontage extending north and south along Tawas bay.

In the intervening years plaintiffs deeded the northernmost 100 feet of this property to a business associate, Mr. Sargent. Then on September 2,1943, plaintiffs conveyed the property which is the subject of this dispute to Mr. and Mrs. Abraham L. Heystok by a warranty deed containing a metes and bounds description/ •

The effect of the metes and bounds description was to convey the south 153 feet of plaintiffs’ original parcel to the Heysteks, with the exception therefrom of all of the property lying “west of the east line of the present right-of-way across said property running in a northerly direction.” This' litigation is best understood by reference to plaintiffs’ exhibit 1, a survey by Registered Land Surveyor R. J. Cooke, which is reproduced herewith:
