sHANKLIN on TIE WATER FRONT.
J. w. ShankIin, ex-SuTYeyor General Of
California, who brought to the attention OF
the Council the city's right TO charge for

ton to another matter of importance. This
is the opening of the parallel streets run
ming south 20 the waters edge, so that
wharves may be built. The City Council
has considered the matter in times past, but
nothing was done fer the reason that the
property at tie ends Of streets has been
generally believed 10 belong TO private par
ties or corporations and that the expense OF
acquiring 1t would be too great. Ex-Coun-
Gilman NcAvOy states that during his term
L. mi, Gin 70 ehn a+fn
the city could not open TO the water
Dir. Shanklin bases bis belief on the old
ordinance of 1855, as follows:
Broadway and all streets OF The city running
parallel Herewith are hereby declared open 10
the southern boundary line OF The city, and are
hereby constituted public streets and municipal
highways.
The boundary line thus mentioned ex-
tended across the haTbOr to the Alameda
shore. The ordinance was ratified By the
Legislature. and Shanklin takes the ground
that the Waterfront Company CT others
who occupy the strip about the city's edge
has no legal right TO it.
