In their resolution the people of Ala

ward incorporation in order to secure
street improvements, for which they
are paying thousands of dollars in the
form of the county road tax, without
adequate returns.
1t is stated that no hostility toward
Long Beach is intended, but the act of
this city in commencing proceedings to
annex the water front is condemned in
the following terms:
Resolved That the Ten Command
ments are equally binding upon men
collectively and individually. Thou
shalt not steal,' Thou shalt not covet,
DO unto others as you would they
should do unto you do not mean one
thing for the individual and another
for the corporation.
Resolved, That any law which per-
mits men and tempts men in their cor
porate capacity to seize upon and con-
vert to their own use that which be-
longs to others makes the word of God
of no effect, debauches the public con-
science dulls the moral perception of
our youth, subverts the very founda-
lions of Christian morals and ought to
be stricken from the statutes"
There is much more to the same eff
feet, with the concluding resolution.
I'VE will call off all efforts at incorpo-
ration If Long Beach will abandon her
election for annexation"
These resolutions will be considered
by the council at tomorrow's session.
