paving done at Seaside Park. The
owners of the tract have had concrete
sidewalks laid throughout the place
and that is as far as they will go. The
wagon traffic of the town is not heavy
and the cottagers agree that the nat
ural beach sand in the streets makes a
better playground for the children than
would oil or asphalt. The town has
thus gained for itself the title of a
"dustless" resort and the clean cot
tages and sidewalks prove the wisdom
of the men who looked upon paved
streets with disfavor.
The next public improvement in Sea-
side Park will be a pavilion near the
pier. A row of stores will be erected
around the trolley terminal but other
wise the Park will remain residential.
The cottages built there represent an
investment of about 100000 Among
their owners are c. r. Drake, Fred
Rudge, the Messrs. Wallace and r. E.
Young.
Only about half of the Seaside Park
tract has been placed on the market,
the eastern part not having been SUBJ
divided yet. There are fifteen blocks
in the western section, including about
900 lots. These are selling at from $500
to $175O.

NEW BEACH TOWN RISING ON

WIDE PIER OVER THE OCEAN
Popular Resort for Children of Los
Angeles and Long Beaeh--Bright
Future for the Baby
Coast City

section Of Long Beach which has
developed an individuality of its own
under the name of Seaside Park, has
become one of the most attractive
beaches of the coast. In character it is
diametrically opposite to the mother
town, II such Long Beach may be
called. Long Beach Is located on a
bluff, while Seaside Park is right down
ON the sand. Long Beach makes pre-
tensions as a business center. Seaside
Park aims only at a residence fame,
and is fast nearing the goal, nearly
forty handsome cottages having gone
up on the strand.
The Seaside Park tract begins at the
end Of the Long Beach bluff at Golden
avenue, and extends to the city limits.
While the Park is a sand town." the
beach on which 1t lies has a sharp
descent and the town lots are all from
five to ten feet above high tide. The
tract is a mile long and 900 feet wide,
extending from the ocean to Pacific
boulevard, where the Salt Lake railroad
tracks are and where the Pacific Elec-
trio has its terminal.
The most novel feature of Seaside
Park is its outdoor plunge" a lagoon
which has been constructed at the
western end of the tract. The lagoon
is used for both boating and swimming,
varying in depth from eighteen inches
to ten feet. The water is changed every
day by the action of the tides through
a gateway which keeps the pool up to
an even level constantly. East of the
lagoon a large bath house is under
construction and is so far completed
that the lockers are being used. The
Pacific Electric has its terminal in the
bath house building.
An S00-foot pier extends from Alpine
street over the ocean. from which there
is excellent fishing. The pier was the
only one along the coast that did not
suffer from the storms of last winter.
Alpine street is to be paved within a
short time and when the boulevard of
Riverside tract, Long Beach, is ex-
Minded to Seaside Park, Santa Clara
Erect, which connects with the boule-
Ward, will be paved to the ocean.
