MAY BUILD HOTEL TO
ACCOMMODATE ELKS
F. {. Bundy Proposes City Furnish
Site and He Will Secure Capital
for Building Worth
$4,000

SANTA MONICA, Feb. 26.-The re-
celpt of a communication from the Los
Angeles chamber of commerce Te-
questing data regarding the numbers
of guests that this city can handle dur
ing the Elks' convention in July has
started the hotel question going faster
than ever.
At Il gathering of business men this
morning F. E. Bundy made this propo-
sition:
IF the city will give a site for the
hotel in the Ocean Front park / will
go ahead and interest capital to help
me build it. 1 do not see why it can
not be legally done, as a site for hotel
purposes was decided to the railroad
company. A hotel costing fifty or sew
enty-five thousand dollars will be large
enough. They say that these big beach
hotels don't pay, but one of the former
managers of the Arcadia told me he
cleared $4,000 some years and that he
would be glad to keep the house if he
could have secured a lease on it,
Others present advocated the circu-
lation of subscription paper to raise
the building money and urged that just
as large a number of stockholders as
possible be secured to form a hotel
company.

Special to The Herald i


LONG BEACH, Feb. 26.-T. G. Har-
riman, newly elected councilman from
the First wark, asked last night that
the city attorney be instructed to pre-
pare an ordinance for the reduction Of
salaries, for cutting out appropriations
and abolishing offices which he believes
are too expensive.
He said his proposed changes would
save the city $4,000 a year.
He wants the offices of chief en-
gineer of the fire department, mayors
clerk, city attorneys assistant and city
attorneys stenographer to be abolished; !;
wants the conveyance allowance of
$40 a month for the board of public
works cut off, and also would have the
council appoint directly all inspectors,
assistants and deputies.
His proposition brought on several
tits between him and the mayor. The
question, which started the discussion,
that of allowing the city attorney a
months office rent when his appropri-
alton had been used up, was disposed Of
by allowing the amount asked for.
Council meetings in the future prom
ise to be interesting in the extreme, as
Councilman Hartman has several ideas
of his own which may be expressed
freely from time Ito time.

BOOTHS TO BE REMOVED
FROM LONG BEACH PIER
Council Orders Thirty Days Notice to
Be Given Lessees to Vacate
Premises

LONG BEACH, Feb. 26.-Cutting off
a large amount of revenue which the
city has received from the rented
booths at the pier. opposite the aud
itorium, the city council voted last
thirty days in which to vacate the
places.
Moreover, J. E. Carter, jr., was given
lease on two rooms in the auditorium
itself at a monthly rental of $25. He
refused to sign the lease unless the
booths were ordered razed, as lie
wanted a clear view of the sand.
He received all he asked for, and
both he and the Seaside Water COM
pany, the owners of the strand prop
erty, are pleased. The Seaside Water
company wanted the booths removed
from the pier.
Various councilmen last night ex-
pressed the opinion the city should not
rent booths but should leave that to
private owners.
t. G. Harmon, the new councilman
from the First ward, said, however, the
city would do well to rent enough
places on the pier to make it self-sus-
tanning instead of a big extra expense
to taxpayers.
Councilmen Baldwin and Robinson
also were in favor of retaining the
booths The Fisher building, which is
to be razed, is a two-story building. II
it was allowed to remain during the life
of the lease now held on it the city
would gain $4,000 revenue and then the
building would become the property OF
the city.

BAY CITIES TO TRY
TO BOOST INTERESTS
REPRESENTATIVES OF THREE
TOWNS MEET
Terminal Rates Discussed and Plans
Formulated to Secure Lower
Tariff on Merchandise
from the East

SAN PEDRO, Feb. 26.-About 100
representative business men and manu-
facturers of Long Beach attended a
meeting here tonight, at the invitation
of the officers of the Cooperative
Wholesale company, recently organized
here. Invitations had been sent to the
business men of Wilmington, as well as
those of San Pedro, but only few from
those cities responded to the invitation.
Attorney M. P. Goodrich of San Pedro
stated the object of the meeting, and
the purposes of the new organization,
and showed the settlement of the ques
ton of terminal rates largely depended
on the people doing something for
themselves. He stated that until COM
petitive freight is offered at San Pedro
wharves terminal rates cannot be
granted or expected.
1t was shown that five different car
goes of such freight have been dis
charged here in the last few months,
and that the steamer Hazel Dollar, now
lying at the Salt Lake wharf has 1000
tons of pig iron and a quantity of gen
eral cargo that will go to eastern points
at the same rate as those shipped from
Los Angeles or San Diego, thus show
ing that terminal rates now exist over
the Salt Lake road for that kind of
freight.
San Pedro merchants are now buying
some merchandise in New York and
other eastern markets, shipping it via
the Isthmus of Tehuantepec to San
Francisco and then back to San Pedro
for 50 cents a hundred pounds in less
than carload lots. If they could make
up carload lots they could get the goods
overland for so cents or loss hundred.
1t is the purpose of the new organiza-
ton to combine for the purpose of col
lect1ve bargaining and buying, ship
ping and distributing to the retailer.
This sentiment met with the hearty ap-
proval of the visitors
Among those who spoke on the sub
ject are Mayor Windham of Long
Beach, and President Callahan and
Secretary Miller of the Long Beach
chamber of commerce. Messrs. Paschal.
Hill and Young. All spoke very favor
ably of the idea of closer relations be-
tween the bay cities.
Mayor Walton spoke in behalf of the
city of San Pedro, stating that Long
Beach, with it's worlds famous resort,
Wilmington with it's advantageous To-
cation for factories and warehouses.
and San Pedro, with it's docks and
Wharves, all combined and working to-
gether might easily become one of the
greatest cities on the Pacific coast.
Several other citizens of San Pedro
spoke along similar lines, and the meet
ing closed with the unanimous motion
that three merchants or manufacturers
be appointed from each Of the three
cities by the respective commercial
bodies to meet to perfect plan for
permanent organization.
This is really the first meeting where
the interests of the three bay cities
have been so thoroughly discussed and
understood, and it is thought the move
ment started here tonight will lead to
practical results which could be at
tanned in no other way
