LONG BEACH, July 17.-After taxi
ing up an ordinance setting August II
Carroll Park, and after calling spe-
cial meeting for tonight to take up
another ordinance calling an election
for August 1S on the question of an
nexing to Long Beach the water 'front.'
age east of the present city limits, the
city councilmen today decided to go out
into the eastern section next Monday
night and attempt to conciliate the
much aggrieved residents of that ter
ritory who had planned their own sep
arate incorporation OF all the beach
which the city now proposes to take in.
The errand with the olive branch is
apt to prove a failure, as the would-be
East Long Beachites are up in arms.
Mayor Windham assured the districts
representatives who were present at
the council meeting this morning that
Long Beach did not want to antagonize
the people to the eastward, but that, To
subserve the city's interests, 1t seemed
necessary to take in the beach lands,
or at least squelch effectively the sep
arate incorporation lOed.
The ordinance adopted this morning
calling for an election on the annexa-
ton of the Carroll Park territory gives
the following boundaries of the section:
Beginning on eastern boundary line at
lot II, block 43, northerly to Junipero
avenue, to an alley, west to lndepen-
dencia avenue, northeasterly to Cherry
avenue and Bishop streets, north to
Florida avenue, east to Juntpero, north
to Fourth, northeasterly to Dawson av-
enue, north $50 feet; thence east to
Junipero; thence southwest, east anc
south along the east line of Carroll
Park tract to Eliot avenue; thence
east to Kinta; thence southwest along
Wisconsin avenue, east to Temple ave-
nue., south to Fortuna avenue, east 10
Oiai street, south to Railway avenue,
southwest to intersection of Pacihc Ell
ectric tracks, north to Virginia or Ter
mino street, and northeast along LlV-
ingstone drive to Forty-second place,
thence southwesterly to a point three
miles out in the ocean, and thence 10
city limits.
These boundaries are said to have
been arranged in such a manner as TO
take in the Alamitos school house and
leave out a number of those openly OPP
posed to annexation to Long Beach.
Three unsuccessful attempts have
been made in the past to attach this
territory, with some deViatlons or the
boundary lines, to this city.
The ordinance read tonight, calling
for an election on the annexation of
the water frontage, contained the FOL
lowing description of limits: From alley
running through block 49, southeast
erly to Redondo avenue, northerly
along this avenue to First street at it's
Intersection with Pacific Electric
tracks: thence along tracks to Virginia
or Termino street, north to Livingstone
drive, easterly to Nieto avenue, south

trade and Merchants association, rep
resented by Ed T. off, H. G. Chaffee,
A. ]. Bertonneau, Kingsley Stevens,
Henry C. Prinz, DR.. c. ]. Tracy and
Richard Taylor, visited Venice and
Playa del Rey today to decide upon
their eligibility for the Pasadena day
picnic next month.
Tuesday the party will visit Balboa
and some of the other less frequented
beaches, and after that will be ready
to announce a decision.
Transportation facilities, the most i'm
portant matter to be considered, were
found satisfactory at both beaches
visited today, according to Secretary
Bertonneau. The boards of trade of
the two beaches made very flattering
propositions to secure the picnic.
The only objection to Long Beach is
that it has been. visited for two years
in succession. Accordingly 1t is more
than probable that the picnic will be
held somewhere else this year.
