State Owns Waterfront City Solicitor Informs Members of Council

Another statute passed in 1875 pro-
vided' that whenever the United States
shall desire to acquire title to land
OF any kind belonging to this state,
whether covered by the navigable
waters within its limits or otherwise,
for the site OF any lighthouse, etc.
1t shall make application, etc.
In the case of Bailey v. r. r. Com
ported in a note In / Harrington, at
page 328, our own courts said, "At the
date Of our independence. then, the
Delaware Bay was claimed by and in
the occupation and enjoyment of the
state Of Delaware. From the Della
ware shore out SO far as the main
ship channel or middle Of the bay the
state of New Jersey did not then and
has not since asserted any title or set
up any claim Of Jurisdiction; to this
extent, therefore this state has always
been in the undisputed and undis-
turbed occupation Of the bay, claim
ing title and exercising jurisdiction
over its bed and waters"
State Claimed Title.
The question involved in that case
was not the title to the bed of the
stream, but only jurisdiction over It;
Judge Harrington states repeatedly,
however, that the state claimed title
to the bed of the bay.

lished limits OF this state was here
tofore claimed by the crown Of Great
Britain: And whereas by the def
nitive treaty between his Britannia
Majesty and the United States OF
America, his said majesty relinquish-
ed all rights, proprietary and terri
torial, within the limits of the said
United States to the citizens OF the
same, for their sole use and benefit;
by virtue whereof the soil and lands
within the limits Of this state became
the right and property of the citizens
thereof, and who at the time of the
passing of the act, TO which this is a
supplement, had and now have full
power and authority by their Repre-
sentatives TO dispose of the same for
their sole benefit. emolument and ad-
vantage; ."
In Volume 90. Cyclopedia of Law
and Procedure, at Page 1856. the au-
thor states that Except where grants
have been made before or after the
admission Of state into the Union,
IL owned the soashore, the land un-
der the Great Lakes. and the land un-
der a, stream in so far as the tide ebbs
and flows"
The same author, at Page 355, states
that mo title to the soil under navi-
gable waters was conferred by the
Constitution upon the Federal govern
mcnt so far as the original states
were concerned, but the title remain
ed in the respective states"
In order to show that this state
has claimed the title to the body of
tidal waters, attention is called to an
carly statute of this state which pro-
vides "that all the Jurisdiction and
title of the state OF Delaware over and
TO so much Of the shore, bed and
waters Of the Delaware Bay as are
necessary for the erection of break
water or other harbor and for the
construction of such defences as may
be thought proper at or near the
mouth Of said bay, be and the same
is hereby ceded to the United States
OF America

pany, reported in Harrington, the
court, at page 397, states that "A pub
lie navigable river, prima facie and
OF common right, belongs to the
sovereign power. The lands of in
dividuals bounding such river are
held by grants from or under the
state, which grants do not divest the
state of its power to improve the nav
igation, etc, and, for such purposes,
1t may do everything for the full en-
joyment Of its rights; only it cannot
take private property for public use
without compensation. (Hollister VS..
The Union Company, 8 Conn. Rep.
436, 446.)"
Our courts have also said that the
riparian owner held title TO the low
water mark. That implies, of course,
that he did not hold below low water
mark. The authorities are in fact uni
form, in the absence of legislation,
upon the point that in the United
States the states hold the title to the
beds of navigable streams where the
tide ebbs and flows.
This principle must not be con-
fused with that which involves the
title to a navigable stream where the
tide does not ebb and flow. Upon
this point there is great conflict OF
authority, some states holding the

WOULD RAISE $15O,OOO
FOR MANILA DORMITORY
Rev. Philip M. FinnegaD, S. j. Here to Obtain Funds
to Erect Building for Use of Students in
Government Schools in Philippines.

hoping to secure enough funds to start
the building in the near future.
The project is absolutely nonsec-
tartan. The prime motive Is to give
the boys a decent place to live in. The
government recognizes the need OF the
building we would put UP. but is han
ding so many projects in the Philip
pines 1t has no time TO attend to 1t.
The boys at the schools are very
friendly with the Americans. and the
friendship can be further increased by
providing a suitable place for some OF
them to live in while they are attend
ing the Manila schools.
The standard OF living in the Philip
pines has greatly increased since Amer
has awakened. The trade Of the Philip
pines is now 800 per cent larger than
II was during the Spanish times. In
1910 the United States sold SlO.OO0.0OO
worth Of goods to the Philippines, and
in 1911 it sold Sls, $1,000. The imports
$4,000 in 1919. and SIS, ,5g7. .35l in 1911. This
year, making an average from the indi-
cations Of the first quarter. they will
be 100000. The United States bought
from the Philippines in 1911 products
worth S6.OOO,OOO.
This shows the wonderful increase in
industrial and trading lines which the
a great port II has the finest harbor
in the Orient II may be news to many
to learn that the Philippines are alb
solutely self-supporting, and are in no
sense a burden to the United States"
Father Finnegan said the prison sys-
TEN in the Philippines is far superior
TO that Of this country. The convicts
are divided into three classes The old
offenders are in the third class. At the
end OF six months they can be raised
to the second class and have visitors
once IN six weeks and all the tobacco
they want. In another six months they
can have still further privileges, with
promotion to the first class. At the end
Of two years those with terms aggre-
agting that time OF more are sent TO the
penal colony on Palawan Island. There
they can take property and bring up
families II they choose. When their
terms are expired they can remain In
the colony u they desire.
