LONG BEACH, March, 27.-(Reg-
ular Correspondence) The city is
now at this time of the year, when ev-
erything is green and luxuriant, about
the incest little seaside resort in the
country. 1t is a pity that the supreme
court does not help us out of the tan
gle we got ourselves into last summer
when we disineorporated, by giving us
a decision defining our status, so we can
either go ahead under municipal rule
or take steps, If out, to get ourselves
back under 1t by Incorporating. In
the meantime the Improvement society,
with John Rogers as president, has put
the park in good order, cleaning the
walks, clearing away the weeds. cultt-
waiting the flower beds and pruning the
trees and plants where necessary. Rare
trees and plants have been bought and
set out from the funds raised by the
entertainment given by an aggregation
OF citizens under the name of Free Har-
Dor Minstrels. and this in conjunction
with the work done by Mr.. Rogers and
others Of the Improvement society, has
put our nice little seaside park in prime
| condition.
