The Catholic Ooncert-A Fire Alarm,
The Wharf Project.
The concert given in Steere's Opera
House last night, for the benefit of the
Roman Catholic Church, was great
success, both socially, artistically and
financially. Not alone the Catholic ele.
ment but the many friends and admirers
of Father Halves were present, 80 the
crowded condition of the hall is not to be
wondered at. The programme rendered
was as follows: Recitation, Miss Nc.
Carty; song, "Tom Bowling" Mr.. R. P.
Carter; violin solo, Professor Schilling
solo, "My Lady's Bower" Mrs. @. L.
Northcraft: q1artette, Farewell to For
est" piano solo, Professor Wilde dance,
Bobbie Burns; duet, "Cheerfulness, p
Madame Voron and Miss Kate
Hodge; song, "Queen of My
Heart" Mr.. Templer-Allen; quartette.
At 10 O'Clock last night the fire bell
sounded, for the first time in many
months, and the newly-organized hose
company turned out in quick order,
everyone being on hand. The confagra-
ton was at the corner of Fourth and Ne
vada, distance of about three blocks,
and the boys were there and had the
water playing In eight minutes. There
was nothing much to quench, the fire be-
ing only of lot of lumber and tar bar.
rels, but the boys showed what they can
do when the occasion requires. The
water worked we'll and with good pres.
sure.
A meeting of the Santa Monica Wharf
Company, called for last night, was re-
sponded to by quorum of four out of
the seven directors. Mr.. E. j. Vswter,
PRESIDENT of the organization, announced
that it appeared to be impossible to raise
the necessary subscriptions, only 81 900
OF the required $50, 900 being re represented
In the assessments. After some discus
sion it was therefore decided to abandon
the project for the present.
A meeting of the Fire Company was
also held with Foreman Bob Eckert in
the chair. 1t was announced that as a
result OF the last entertainment the or.
ganization is now out of debt, and has a
balance of 81. All outstanding bills we're
ordered paid.
1t seems to be matter of impossibility
to organize new Board of Trade. Since
the first of July three calls have been
made to the sixty-four members constitu-
ting the board, but no quorum has been
secured. The term of Office of the old
directors has expired, but meeting can.
not be obtained whereby new officers can
be secured. An endeavor was again made
last night, but like the others met with
failure.
The assessment roll OF Santa Monica
shows the following details: Real estate,
81, AT, O52; Improvements, $3.50, 005 per-
sonal property, $l09,926; cash, 81 1888 !;
total 81, 1907 1855.
