CITY PROPOSES TO

THINGS LOOKING BLUE FOR
EAST LONG BEACH
Dreams of Separate Incorporation
Being Rudely DispelIed by Res
oution Proposed to Be Laid
Before Council

Special to The Herald.
LONG BEACH, July 16.-Those liv-
ing east of the city who have had
visions of a separate incorporation to
be known as East Long Beach prob
ably will have to consider themselves
decidedly "stung" tomorrow, as the
city council, at an adjourned meeting
to be held in the morning, probably
will adopt a resolution calling for an
election on a proposition to annex ter
ritory which includes Carroll park and
all the water frontage which the en-
thusiasts had expected to have for
their" beach.
The East Long Beach people believe
publicity has spelled their downfall and
are greatly exercised because they
have been caught mapping by the peo-
pie of the city proper. They had con-
ceived the idea of building a pier at
Devils gate at the foot of Grand ave-
nue.. With the shoestring annexation.
as now proposed by the city, they
could not get to DEVILS gate without
traversing a segment of Long Beach
proper.
The boundaries of the water front
now proposed to be annexed by the
city are as follows: From western
city limits at Paloma avenue, east
along the alley between Ocean avenue
and First street to the bluff at West
Naples; thence along the canal to
Alamitos bay; thence south into the
ocean three miles and west to the
southeast extremity of the city limits
There are less than a half dozen votes
in this territory. 1t includes, however,
all the frontage along the West Naples
canal and the beach from Alamitos bay
to Paloma avenue, together with the
holdings of the Pacific Electric and
considerable West Naples company

SAN BERNARDINO, July 16.-With
the thermometer registering 12O in the
shade, Clyde j. McDivitt, editor of the
Randsburg Miner, had a narrow escape
few days ago from death on the des-
ert by thirst. He, with several COM
panions, had gone out seven miles 10
see how the work was progressing on
the new railroad. Starting back he
found that the heat was too intense, SO
he sat down in the shade of cactus
and told his friends to go on and seno
a rig out for him.
Having recovered somewhat, he at
tempted to go on, and, making few
hundred yards at a time, wandered INTO
town in the evening, almost raVlng
maniac. His tongue was swollen ana
sticking to the roof of his mouth, ana
his general condition was frightful.
How he escaped losing his reason Is
mystery, but he managed, apparently
by logged determination, to maintain
his senses. His friends actually had
forgotten him.

WATER BONDS MEET
AWKWARD OBSTACLE
PICNIC COMES NEAR BEING
THEIR DESTRUCTION
Two councilmen Declare They viii
Vote Against Them and Much
Needed Supporter Is
Off on Junket

Special to The Herald
PASADENA, July 16. - Because
Councilman Barnes went on a picnic
today the proposition to vote on bonds
for purchasing the water companies
and for other municipal improvements
struck a snag and came very near
disaster.
The proposed ordinance calling the
election was prepared by City Attorney
Wood and presented to the council.
After it had been read Councilman
Crandall announced that he would
vote against it.
Il wish the question of bonds for the
Improvement of Tournament park was
separate" he said. II am in favor of
that, but since all the Improvements
have been included in one ordinance
l must vote against them ALL
Crandall is strongly opposed to the
purchase of the larger water COM
panies. When some of his associates
in the council argued with him that he
might safely vote affirmatiVely and let
the people decide, he replied, hotly: Il
won't let it come before the people.
It's a dishonest proposition from the
Start and l wouldn't vote for it for d
million dollars"
Councilman Root then announced
that he would also vote against it. As
a majority of tWo-thlrdS is required
on measures of this kind, the absence
of Councilman Barnes meant that the
measure would be defeated.
A hurried attempt was made to sum-
mon Barnes, but he was out of the
city. The vote finally was postponed
until next Tuesday, when undoubtedly
it will be carried over the heads of
Crandall and Root.
This delay will mean the postpone
al ton
bonding length of time. Even if all
goes smoothly at the council meeting
next week the election cannot be held
before September l.
