SAN PEDRO. Feb. H.-Surveyors
were put at work yesterday by the
Pacific Electric people to lay out a
practicable route for a track from the
southern limits of this city to Point
Firmin, the light house and White S
point, all at the extreme end of the
promontory which extends to the south.
The company has a franchise over Pa
cific avenue in this city and that boule-
ward is then owned by the county from
there on. The road will probably trav-
erse the whole portion of the tract and
sales of lots are now going on near
where 1t is located.
In connection with this the Pacific
Improvement company, composed most
ly of local men, will locate a summer
resort at point just west of the light
house and put on glass bottomed boats
for pleasure seekers to visit the inn
mense marine gardens lying to the
south and west of that spot. This is
one of the most beautiful spots in the
state as it covers a complete view of
the outer and inner harbor, the ocean
to the west and the isle of Catalina in
the distance. All vessels coming into
port can be seen as we'll as the Cata-
lima boats from the time they start un-
til they reach their destination. George
H. Peck is at the head of the company.
Great rivalry prevails over the priv
ilege of naming the new passenger boat
now being built at the East San Pedro
ship yards, which is to ply between this
place and San Diego, including way
ports, about June l. The chamber OF
commerce of Long Beach offered the
owners of the boat $500 for the privilege
of naming the boat Then the city of
San Diego came with like offer, and
while the company is considering the
two propositions along comes the Long
Beach Lumber company with an offer
of $500 for the privilege. The boat
builders think they have small gold
mine now in the proposition.
The chamber of commerce is making
every effort possible to give the Mon
tana editors that are coming Sunday
about 10 o'clock in the morning and
will be taken in charge of and placed
aboard the tug Warrior, where ride
will be taken around the bay and har-
Dor. visiting the breakwater. On the
return lunch will be served and the
scribes will then take the Pacific Elec-
trio for Huntington Beach.
At the regular meeting of the city
council held last night Mr.. Denis, acting
for Lieut.. Miner, to whom valuable wa
ter frontage has recently been given
In the outer harbor, presented the bond
of the client for the faithful perform
ance of his agreement. The bond is for
the sum of $4,000 and runs to the city
in default of his agreement 1t is
signed by Randolph H. Miner as the
original and by the Union Oil company
of Los Angeles as surety. The surety
gives it's assets as forty million dollars
and it's capital stock as four millions.
The bond was accepted without ques-
ton. 1t has long been source of
wonder who was backing Mr.. Miner in
this immense proposition which will
require the expenditure of several mil
lions Of money and the signing of this
bond by the oil company leads many
to think that that company is at the
bottom of it now. There are no as
surances, however, that such is the
case.
