REDONDO BEACH, July 3.-One Of
the big deals put through this season
was closed during the week whereby
the Los Angeles g. Redondo Railroad
company became the owner of the mile
long strip extending from the old bath
house to the south city limits, anu
lying west of the Santa Fe right OF
way.
The piece is occupied by the pleasure
buildings Of the beach, namely, paVil-
ion, old bathhouse, Casino and new
bathhouse just completed; also mum
ber of minor buildings. The strip gives
the railroad, or H. q. Huntington, the
owner, complete control of the tide
lands for the entire length and very
nearly includes the water front of the
entire city.
The Redondo Improvement company,
from whom the property was pur-
chased, refuses to divulge the price.
but it is persistently rumored that it
was in the neighborhood of S1000,0 900.

declining years, bringing wealth ana
prosperity to others who seek more

There is less of poverty ana less OF

those already here and to the new
