effort to place the tideland measures
n the ballot at the November election
through initiative petition.
Half of the signatures needed in
Multnomah county have been secured,

counties support as substantial is con
fidently expected.
There are two of the tideland meas
ures. When these are adopted by pop
ular vote the result will be recovery
to the people of their rights to the
.foreshore of navigable streams. ,
One of the measures is a bill for an
initiative act "to authorize cities and
towns to construct, operate and main
tain municipal wharves, docks, etc."
Another portion of the title gives
the state right to lease tideland for
dock construction to upland owners
when the property is not required for
public purposes. A reasonable com
pensation to the public for use of the
tldelands is provided for.
All of which means that by passage
f the bill the foreshore will revert to
public control and ownership of ex
treme frontage, that other great ports
have found vital to their development,
will be adopted for all Oregon and will
apply to every city having water trans-jortatlon.

change its name within 60 days after
the 1913 act became operative, is un
constitutional. Such was the ruling
made by Judge Eakin of the circuit
court.
