Price From Santa Monica to Playa del
Rey ls Lowered From Ten
to EIve Centa

TO Five Cents
Special to The Herald.
OCEAN PARK, July 22--At meet
ing of the Community league held at
the Pier Avenue casino last night a
letter was read from President e. p.
Clark Of the Los Angeles-Pacihc Elec-
trio railroad, which stated that after
Sunday the fare between Santa Monica
and Playa del Rey would be reduced
from ten to five cents. There has been
petition before the directors of the
road for a long time asking for this
change of rate, and It was due greatly
to the efforts of the Community league
that the matter reached such favora-
BILE termination. 1t was also announced
at the meeting that movement was
on foot for the early reduction of the
fare between Los Angeles and the beach
towns from fifty to twenty-five cents.
What relation Abbot Kinney's proposed
rival road had to this movement could
not be learned, but 1t is understood that
plans for the early completion of the
Kinney road were under discussion.
Ocean Park and Santa Monica min

In the Johnnie mine, belonging to
Mayor Dudley and Karl Schrader, the

The shaft in which the $1S0,000 worth
of ore was found is now down 100 feet.
The ore in this shaft runs rich through
out, but the vein is very narrow. The
second shaft, which is now sixty feet
deep, is to be sunk to the 1000-foot
level. The company is sacking but
not shipping ore, as a stamp mill is
to be erected in the early fall.
The Leonardt baseball team of Los

LONG BEACH, July 22,-The twen-
tieth Chautauqua came to a close to-
night and finds all its patrons well
pleased with the entertainment rem
dered. On the other hand, the Chau-
tauquans are far from pleased with
Long Beach and complain bitterly Of
lack of support from the town. Sec
retary B. r. Baumgardt in a state
ment yesterday said:
"It sometimes seems to me that the
citizens of Long Beach do not realize
the opportunity they have in the
Chautauqua association. have
watched the growth of Long Beach
during the last fifteen years and !
have come to the conclusion that Long
Beach today would not be where 1t
is but for the meeting of the Chautau-
qua every summer, yet 1t is a lamenta-
BILE fact that very little assistance has
been given the assembly financially
and still less morally. The pledges
that were made some years ago when
there was serious attempt to re-
move the Chautauqua have not been
fulfilled. Opposition attractions -loh
as the band on the wharf-were start
ed and have been carried on during
the assembly, causing audiences to
become diminished at the tabernacle
on account OF free entertainments
elsewhere. If the Chautauqua is to
carry out it's purpose of increasing its
influence In the future 1t would seem
that the cooperation Of Long Beach
might not only be expected but de-
manded-"

While the present high tax rate Is

who are willing to pay their share of
