NEWS OF OAKLAND, BERKELEY, ALAMEDA, HAYWARD AND SAN LEANDRO CITY TO RECOVER WATER FRONT LAND vioard of Works Begins Nego tiations to Regain Site of Wharf •■■■■' V ' - Attorney General May Sue to Quiet Title in East Oak t • land Basin OAKLAND, Feb. 10.—Relying on the lecislon handed down by Superior 'ludge Walter Rordwell of Los Angeles n state tldeland litigation, the board *>f public works of this city is conduci ng negotiations for the recovery of t \nntrol over all lands in East Oakland, title to which Is claimed by private in terests as being derived from the Strat ton paten The negotiations thus far have been I only, with, the Pacific steel and wire company, .which held up work on the municipal wharf at the foot of Living ston street. That concern is one of the ."-■rattfn 'patent claimants. The board of works has virtually completed an agreement, subject to ratification by the city council, by which the company will permit the city to proceed with its wharf building without interruption, will grant the free use of a fairway in front of the disputed property and will dedicate two streets as approaches from tbe land to the wharf. In return the city will give to the company a long leasehold at such rates as will enable the concern to make back Its invest ment. ■ The agreement will be completed to- Inorrow or, early next week. Mayor lott. City Engineer Turner and City attorney Woolner arranging a confer ee with the wire company directors. .In case these negotiations for the ecovery of the Stratton patent lands all to effect the purpose, the city will •sk Attorney General U. S. Webb to ring suit in the name of the state, uch an action would be a duplicate of he suit over Wilmington tidelands. Los Angeles, 'which terminated in Judge lordwell's decision; That decision was sweeping. It de lared void the patent by which* Homer 3 . King and the Southern Pacific com any claimed several hundred acres of ide lands under a patent to King. The eclslon Was won by the same argu ment as was used by the late city at torney of Oakland, John E. McElroy, 'hat the patents were unconstitutional. The Wilmington case was parallel i with i the Stratton patent case, which affects the whole East Oakland basin. The decision by Judge Rordwell, If sus tained,; would result through suit by the attorney general. in every claim by occupants of Stratton patent land be ns? declared void. Among firms in volved In such possible litigation are ihe Pacific steel and wire works. Hodge . & Collins lumber company. Breed & Ra'ncroft. E. C. Sessions, the Atlas gas j engine company and the Interlocking stone company. The Southern Pacific company has already quitclaimed to the • ity the land it held under the Stratton patent. .The salient features of the Bordwell decision, which apply exactly to the East Oakland basin tide lands, are:'.'-'. The use. by the people of tidelands for .navigation la a natural right, of which the state may not deprive them. As » general proposition tidelands useful for navigation may not be Ir revocably alienated. Tidelands unuseful for navigation may be granted by the state Into private ownership. I'nder some circumstances title to the •Inlands, although useful for naviga tion, may be Irrevocably alienated Into private ownership, when - thereby a greater public benefit will -result, and navigation be not substantially inter fered with. ■ No general law of California has ever been -enacted authorizing the in liscrlminate sale of tidelands. Prior to-1907 tidelands contiguous to and forming a part of a coast or -*vamp and overflowed lands which .vere unueeful for navigation (but none >ther) might be sold under the pro visions of section 3440 of the political * -ode, or tinder previous legislative acts. Fectlon 3, article 15, of the consti tution of California, prohibits the un ratified leasing of the lands. In an action brought by the state to ■•uiet title to, lands, patents to which •tre Old for Want of power in the legis lature to convey or for want of legis lative authority, it ls not essential that ihe state should repay or tender back the purchase price as a prerequisite to the maintenance of the action. Killing In of tidelands claimed un der a void patent gives rise, to no . equities in those claiming . under the patent. I(PPs' VV":~'r v V> ' I No statute . of limitations runs against the state in an action to quiet title to tidelands devoted to public use*. Title to lands devot»d to public use can not be predicate. on adverse pos session. The* plea of estoppel based, upon possession of and Improvements upon lands devoted to public use can not be allowed. The attorney general is empowered to Institute on his own motion actions in the name of the state to quiet title .to lands devoted to public use and " claimed under void patents. . . The use contemplated by the legisla ture of lands for the reclamation of which provisions were made by the political code and early statutes was agricultural. \ Suburban Brevities MINISTER TO ADDRESS ST-TDiarT---Al« --ireds.
