Special to The Herald.
LONG BEACH, May 12,-The city
officials who visited Riverside yester-
day to investigate the streets of that
city were much impressed with what
they saw and learned. Considerable
data was gathered which will probably
be used to advantage in the campaign
for better streets which has begun
here. II. e. Shaw. city engineer, and
G. j. E. Taylor street superintendent,
believe that such model roads as are
found at Riverside could be built here
for eight cents a foot, or approximate
ly seventy cents n square yard, much
less than Is paid for asphalt.
A plan under consideration by these
officials is the construction of an eX-
perimental street modelled after the
Riverside roads and made with crushed
rock base, followed by two-inch lay
er of decomposed granite treated to
two coats of moderately heavy oil. The
street where least opposition Is indi-

SAN PEDRO, May 12.-Failing to
force the East San Pedro squatters from
the lands held by them, the water COM
panies of the seacoast town sprung a
surprise yesterday morning by shutting
off the water in nineteen cottages owned
by Mrs. M. d. Hamilton.
Other shacks and cottages suffered as
severely. The squatters have made an
appeal to the city for redress but thus
far have received no answer.
According to the statements of the
citizens of the little colony the water
supply was cut off at the order of Major
Mckay, who is said to represent the
Bouton Water company
Mrs. Hamilton states that she will
Immediately apply TO the courts for re-
dress in the matter. She insists that the
company, or it's agent, is acting with
out the pale of the law. She states that
she will move her family from Los An
gees onto the property here and look
after it in person hereafter.
sympathize With squatters
The sympathy of the people in gem
eral is mostly with the squatters, be-
lieving that the corporations who seek
this land have not as much right or
title to 1t as the squatters themselves.
The corporations lay claim to the
property along the disputed ground by
reason of franchise having been given
them by the city of Long Beach. They
also claim that they have the question
before the government now.
On the other hand the squatters and
those behind them in the trouble claim
chat Long Beach has not a particle of
right to give away any portion OF this
land and that it is now mostly out OF
reach of the government because It is
above high tides. Many of the fences.
which the captain of the dredger stated
We're in the way of the pipes have been
taken down SO that there will probably
not be any further interference for some
time to come.
In the meantime the squatters will be
better prepared to fight when the ques-
ton does come up again as they win be
banded together. They insist that they
will fight with their lives il necessary
at least before they viii give up their
possessions to the railroad company or
any other corporation which desires the
land for spec ulation.
