SANTA MONICA.

SANTA MONICA.
Fine weather and Plenty of Visitors.
The Council.
SANTA MONICA, Sept. 19.-Theweather
is sublime and far superior to any we
we have been having for some time.
The hotels are all comfortably well
filed, and there seems to be very little,
II any, dimunition in the number OF
rented cottages. OF course there are a
number of new faces, and the kind on
enjoyment or special fad is changed,
hunting and driving being the special
features.
BOARD OF TRUSTEES.
The board of trustees at their meeting
on Monday night, after ordering war
rants drawn to pay sundry bills, ordered
the clerk to pay back the difference be-
tween last years rate, namely, 70 cents

onsvery hundred dollars of personal
property tax already collected this year.

the moving of buildings. An ordinance

THE ARCADIA TO REMAIN OPEN.
The Arcadia is to remain open through
out the year, winter and summer, is the.
welcome news OF the day. Its means
far more than the casual observer may
think and will give Santa Monica the
prestige of the superb hoetelery which
has always been the home of pleasure,
comfort and luxury. 1t will also be con-
Quoted in a first-class manner. Mr.. s.
Reinhart never having managed house
in any other way, mis- name being
synonym for luxrious living. Those
who have passed the summer days at
the house can agree with us in that re-
spect, but they do not begin to realize
the comfort and luxury of the abode OF
pleasure when the autumn and winter
days have come. 1t ia then the COM
forts of the we'll appointed house and
luxury on sun parlor come into play and
the sunny rooms heated by steam when
necessary, and the breeze loaded with
the perfume of the countless floral gems
in park in front give even the most deli
cate of invalids ahappy sense of rest and
contentment. It is there the air is iree
from all fog and Catalina, the Peoples
Isles of Eden," seem to be only q short
distance away and the mountains at our
very doors. Life is far more enjoyable
here in winter than summer, driving
about the adjacent country, being the
acme of enjoyment. Hunting superior,
fishing par excellent and bathing superb.
This leads me to one kind of bathing
that is then particularly delightful,
namely:
HOT OCEAN WATER BATHS.
At the North Beach bath house. where
the facilities are excellent. the baths are
given to an increasing number of pa
trons, until it now is only question Of
how many baths the capable MANAGE
ment are able to give. The luxury of
hot bath is immense and their curative
powers manifold. There is no other
bath which like theHe makes the bather
feel as If he or she were born anew in q
world of sunshine and pleasure.
