REDoNDO SHOWS GROWTH
Beach City Increasing Its Commerce
and Home Attractions

Every citizen of Redondo must view
with civic pride the advancement made
during the year just closed. The IN
comparable climate, its proximity to
, Los Angeles, the chief distributing
point for Southern California, it's fa-
cilities for transportation, both by land
and sea, must account in great meas
ure for the substantial growth of the
place.
Within a period of about eighteen
months there has been expended on
the streets for oiling, curbing, side
walking and grading $60,000
At the present time there is in con-
temptation the erection of a city hall
at cost of $4,000, and this on site
not surpassed within Redondos COR
porate limits.
The matter of establishing a high
school is receiving no little attention.
and the concensus of opinion is that
there should be expended for the
structure fully 100000.
Ships of the largest tonnage on the
Pacific coast arrive at Redondo and at
the present moment there are lying at
the Redondo Improvement company's
wharves four four-masted schooners,
and three steamers, all discharging
c6rgoeS of lumber.
The shipments of oil have doubled
within the year, and there are two oil
steamers that ply regularly between
Port Richmond and Redondo, and two
others that come at intervals. The
shipments of this product are now an
nually 100000 barrels, while the lum-
Der shipments have reached S0,OOO,OOO
feet, and merchandise shipments have
increased fully on,a-sixth.
The Los Angeles and Redondo Rail-
way company is running 100 trains
day, and the traffic both IN freight and
passengers is, according to report OF
Superintendent Perry, 20 per cent
greater than last year. Redondo is
the only beach town that manufa ctures
its own cars, and the product of tho
shops of this road exceeds $4,000.
In the erection of homes, there are
now i'm course of construction or al
ready projected, some of the finest
residences of which this place can
boast Prominent among these are
the residences of Judge l.. A. GrolI,
Mrs. S. E. Wiltshire, Mrs. b. McGood-
win, II. q. Bulkley, r. II. Moore. Mr.
Thum. as we'll as a large number OF
cottages.
The Masonic Temple has been COM
pleted but a few months at cost or
$500, and the improvement company
has built new wharf at a cost OF
$35, 900.
OF no little value to the residents or
RedondO is the new well that has re-
Gently been sunk to a depth of 400
feet, and the water cannot be eXceileo
IN quality in any Of the southern coast
cities.
The assessed values Of 1903 have been
augmented during 1904 by $l2O,0Ou,
making the total assessed valuation
$G76 600. while the population has in
creased from 1900 last year to $500 the
present year.
