B. Zlcgler. ' , ' , The Jefferson Street Levee bill, S. D 62, Introduced by BenaWr Kellaher, was argued before a Joint eeslon of ; the Judiciary committee of the bouse and eenate last Tuesday night, A. A. Jayne, tho governor' special counsel to IfivcB- tlsute tho matter made' a brief state' ' -front In eupport of the bill. He was followed by Mr. Kenton for the Southern j'aclflc. .lie related the story of the imndeo company y (The Portland & Willamette Valloy Railway Co.). of which be was one of the incorporators, and the acquisition by the road of, the levee for terminal purposes by the act of 1885,. This act conveyed "whatever title the state has therein and. may law' fully convey", to the railroad, on condl tion of the road maintaining a dock for the transhipment ef grain to ships. Mr. Fe'nton also stated that this aid was given for the purpose of furnish Ing a competing line wltn 1 the Forest tiiovo and Kant tilde lines also, ' al- though Mr. Fonton did not say r eo, . doubtless, Stephon Coffin's purpose in deeding the levee to the city was to create a dock and terminal business there, which would benefit the rest of bis large holdings in the vicinity). After the first year, however. ' the . dock fell into disuse, the water front was used as a boneyard, the road with the Forest Grove line soon fell Into the hands of the Southern Pacific; and all the purposes for which the levee was dedicated, failed. . ' , ' Xtae to Terminal Cnaagea, J Mr, Fenton, however, argued that this was due to terminal changes and trarrtc movements, for which the Dun dee road could not be held responsible, and having performed the trust to the best of its ability, that its rights under -the act could not be legally canceled.' Ills recommendation was a substitute act based upon an agreement between iio Southern Paciflo and the city, to g.t divide the use of the tract. . ., , Aslda from ihla statement. the argu ments were confined to Questions of technical law rather than to the ful flllment of the purposes for which the '.. grant was made, , - Mr. Fenton forgot, his statement that the consideration for which the state ' vested its trusteeship In the road waa a road connecting there with ships, and hauling grain In competition with the Forest Grove and East Side lines. The ,act forbade conveyance to which It did not carry out the terms of Its trustee- , ship, Vet, we have an absorption of . the property Into the combined cempet- ' Ing lines, the traffic provided for en tlrely suppressed, and the holding com ' pany, the Southern Pacific, acquiring extensive waterfront properties in all parts of the harbor on similar pleas and . with similar results.' Mr, Fenton placed much emphasis on. the. road' willing-. . sees to turn over its obligation to main- . tain a wharf to the dock commission, and to release its lalm on the Wharf right; also on its willing ness to per " mlt a municipal belt line on the prem ' ! lses, and to, give common users on its i tractfs thereon. He claimed his road i m a public utility corporation is en , .titled by its usual service to such trus taeenip, and that by performing it, it complies in a general way with the pur pose of the levee as. a public terminal. Silent About Waiver. . But Mr. Fenton did not say that bis ; company would forego the waiver In serted iff their recent franchise' against the charter provision for -common user on commercial tracks. This waiver cuts off and volates the common user gen - rously" offered on the levea itself, as far as the Dundee lines are concerned, . and flatly contradicts the claims of Mr. Fenton that his road Is conforming to tho condition of the trust to maintain a public levee. ' . The publio benefits provided for by - the. act of lu8S have all been acquired, except a local passenger service, entire ly unrelated to levee uses. While the denial of the common user on the Dun - flee tracks-should disillusion tho pub . Ho as to the claims of Mr, Fenton that his company stands ready to comply V- with the terms of its trusteeship, ad ministering the levee as a publlo prop- arty. The property waa first dedicated, then deeded by Coffin to the city for the specific purpose, Of a publlo levee. Mr. Jayne asked Mr. Fenton "If the act of TV 85 failed to provide for connection me ran iraiuu wmi uig water irai- tic. would it bo Invalldr' Mr. Fenton aisweredsfNo.' - .;'..rf.;.: .:-. The ' legislature would do well to dig down under ail the legal quibbles and consider the actual things and eon ditions with which tho act of 1835 was concerned. . , ., v:.. ' Senator . McCulloch and Mr. Jayne followed Mr. Fenton with very-able and comprehensive arguments sustaining the legality of the bill. Senators Kell aher and Malarkey stated their relations to the origin of the bill two years ago, and assured the committee that they fully endorsed it, .both as to policy and legality, . Character of State's Title. . An Interesting feature of tho discus sion, ia the character of the state's title which is -by virtue of - its - trusteeship over nubile utilities as representing the sovereignty of the people. - Such title Is not a fee, and Is inalienable. The state assumed contrql of the property as sovereign proprietor for the public: The title of the city was loft sn empty husk and passed through some sort of a con-; demnation proceeding, i , ' , ' 'r The title df the state to bed. of nav igable rivers is sfmilar except that it is derived solely by virtue of Its sover eignty, while the title to the levee was, although. of similar public uses and of tl.e same character, jrrjved from '8te pUen Coffin's deed. - The acts of 1674 iia line are claimed py aiessrs. Jmuon Wirt Fenton to convey and divest from the state this trust title, held under its - sovereign power for the. people, and to exclude the people- from the Uses of the property. - They slight the decisions of ' the courts holding those 1a"ws invalid, and Ignore the act Of 1878 repealing - them. The act of 878 "removed the cloud pn the state's .title by the acts of 1871 and , and resumed its 'trus teeship.. - ' ' -. The trusteeship of the state in the lievee case appears, to be canceled, by the railroad's altbrneys, they only deny ing that they have abrogatfd their own inveSture with said trusteeship by fall ing to comply with its terms..- ITo that . the issue is one of the facts in the caae, rather than of law,.
