## Opinion text

MELVIN, J.
I concur in the conclusion reached by Mr. Justice Shaw, and generally with what he says in reference to the power of the state, acting through a commission to sell
*254
certain of its tide-lands, reserving no part of the fee nor dominion over them for purposes of navigation and fishery. I do not wish to be understood, however, as assenting to the reasoning and conclusions in
People
v.
California Fish Co.,
166 Cal. 575 , [ 138 Pac. 79 ], and the other cases disposing of the title to the tide-lands at San Pedro and in that vicinity. In other words, I still completely concur in the views of Mr. Justiee Henshaw expressed in the dissenting opinion in
People
v.
Southern Pac. R. R. Co.,
166 Cal. 621 , [ 138 Pac. 94 ].
Lorigan, J., concurred.
