IDEAL TIDE LAND PLAT.
1T MAKES POSSIBLE THE LATEST
HARBOR IMPROVEMENTS.
Immense Slips Where Vessels Can Moor
Alongside Railway Trains
sites for Factories.

The improvements which are to make
Seattle harbor the best on the Pacific
coast and which are TO add to the harbor
area probably the best fresh water harbor
in the world, were originally made pos
sible by wise constitutional provisions fol-
lowed up by legislation which has stood
the test OF litigation carried to the high
est courts Of the land. In order to prevent
a monopoly of the water front Of the great
cities the constitutional convention made
a provision that a strip ranging in Width
from so to GOO feet and extending one mile
beyond athe city limits, should be set aside
for wharf purposes and should remain
perpetually the property of the state. not
TO be leased for more than thirty years
The state laid claim to all the land be-
tween high and low water mark. and the
first legislature passed a law providing
that after the harbor lines had been set
aside all the tide land remaining should be
plated, appraised and sold. those who
had made valuable improvements and the
owners of abutting upland first having an
option in the order named. The first
attempt 10 locate harbor lines in this port
was obstructed by litigation on the part
OF those who claimed ownership OF the
tide lands under the old law giving all
such lands to the owners of abutting up
land which prevails in England and in
many states. This litigation, however,
only served TO confirm the sovereign
right OF the people to set aside the COM
mon law OF riparian rights and to clearly
confirm title IN the state as against both
the owners OF the upland and the filers
OF government scrip.
All legal obstacles having thus been
cleared away. the board OF state land
ommissioners, which had in the mean
time succeeded to the powers of the har-
Dor line commission and tide land COM
mission, In 1894 proceeded to locate the
