California Supreme Court
Pacific Wharf & Storage Co. v. County of Los Angeles, 180 Cal. 31 (Cal. 1919)

Pacific Wharf & Storage Co. v. County of Los Angeles

Opinion of the Court

THE COURT.

Plaintiff in both actions is lessee of certain tide-lands belonging to the state and situated in the county of Los Angeles, which assessed the leasehold and levied a tax thereon. Plaintiff paid the tax under protest, and in due time sued to recover the same.

Judgment went for plaintiff, from which defendant has appealed.

[1] The sole question involved is whether a leasehold interest in tide and submerged lands owned by the • state is subject to assessment and taxation under the revenue laws thereof. The subject is fully discussed and answered in the affirmative by what is said in the opinion in the case of San Pedro, Los Angeles & Salt Lake R. R. Co. v. City of Los Angeles, ante, p. 18, [179 Pac. 393], which involved a like *32question. Upon the authority thereof, the judgments in both cases are reversed. .

Victor E. Shaw, J., pro tem., Sloss, J., Wilbur, J., Richards, J., pro tem., and Angellotti, C. J., concurred.
