FEAR FLOOD WATERS NEAR
BEACH LINE EN- BANkM ENTS

Sixth ward residents say there is dan
ger of flood water damage because of
the high embankments maintained by the
Long Beach and San Pedro lines of the
Pacific Electric system.
The tracks from Thirty-eighth street to
the city limits are far above the grade,
and because of that fact the improve
ment club of the Seventy-ninth precinct
has asked the city council through Coun-
Gilman Yonlkin to see what can be done
to remedy matters.
Installing water drains and crossings
will help the situation.
