Pardee Says It Is
Great Victory for
the People

OAKLAND, Feb. An the opinion
of former Governor George c. Pardee.
who has followed the Western Pacific
Southern Pacific legal battle closely,
the decision of the United States Cir
cult Court of Appeals gives Oakland
the right for which she has long
fought. The CITY, he thinks, has the
right to open up the way to deep
water. He said:
The decision is important one. a
very important one for the city of Oak
land. coming at a time when every in
terest of the municipality is expanding g
and the true value of the water front
is being realized. The decision means
that the right to wharf out in Oakland
that was granted by the State to Car
pentier in 1852 for thirty-seven years
and by Carpenter transferred to the
Southern Pacific Company has expired.
and that the right to wharf out and
grant rights to wharf out has reverted
to the city of Oakland. 1t means that
the city of Oakland, and not the South
.ern Pacific Company, shall control the
water front of Oakland.
This matter of making the most of
our splendid harbor facilities is TO my
mind one of the most Important con-
Germs of the.city of Oakland at present
and the decision of the United States
Circuit Court of Appeals clears the
situation extensively and should make
it much easier for the city henceforth
to control and regulate its water front.
This decision is also of great i'm
portance to San Francisco, as it means
that railroads will be able to get
through Oakland to deep water on their
way to San Francisco. and the west
| line of Oakland, as has been demon
strated is the easiest way by which
transcontinental road can get into
San Francisco. The decision affects
the entire State and becomes one of the
most important ever rendered in Cali
fornia."

INJUNCTION BY MORROW

After hearing arguments on both
sides and pending the trial of the
matter, Judge Morrow granted a tenn
porary restraining order which blocked
work and altered many of the plans
that the construction department of the
Western Pacific had started or were
about to put into execution. Judge
Morrow's opinion was in effect that the
disputed territory was within the prop
erty rights of the Southern Pacific Com
pany under grants acquired by it when
the Oakland water front cases were
decided in the corporations favor. The
Morrow decision rested upon the tide
water and low-water marks, as ap-
piled to boundaries involved in water
front disputes, and practically gave to
the Southern Pacific Company right to
claim everything in sight along the
Oakland water front provided that it
saw fit to I'LL in to deep water.
The victory for Gould gave the
Southern Pacific Company a surprise,
and Immediately the decision was
placed under the most careful scrutiny
and preparation was made to5Itake
the case to the United States Supreme
Court on appeal The appeal must
come in the form of writ of certiorari
and extraordinarily good reasons must
be given before the high tribunal would
grant the petition. However, the
fight to retain it's hold on rights to the
waters of the bay within the pierhead
lines and make play for delay, as the
Western Pacific. would, with promises of
clear running to its terminal, be able
to press its lines to completion within
comparatively short time.
Chief Counsel w. j. Bartnett of the
Western Pacific had not digested the
decision, which contains $4,000 words
last evening. nor will he be able to
give a clear definition of its meaning
until he has studied the document in
all of its phases. He is of the opinion.

cision, that it will permit the road to
come into Oakland without further
delay
COUNSEL DAVIS VIEWS
William r. Davis of counsel for Oak
land in the water front litigation said:
The decision appears to mean that
the State of California can take charge
of the entire frontage to deep water
outside of the bulkhead line, or what
is the same practically, low tide line.
1t means that the entire harbor 'front.'
age of Oakland and Berkeley outside
of low tide line can be utilized by any
railroad, that the right to build
wharves to deep water is in the people
and not exclusively resting anywhere
else"
HARBOR FOR THE PEOPLE
HI. A. Powell of the Oakland special
water front counsel said:
The decision af1rms the doctrine
that no private interests have exclu-
sfve rights outside the line of ordi-
nary low tide. 1t is of the utmost i'm
portance to the people of Oakland and
to the entire State"
Mayor Frank X. Mott of Oakland,
who has been no less prominent in his
night for Oakland's water front than
former Governor Pardee, said:
This decision means, SO far as my
layman's mind can view it, that Oak
