Work to Begin
Work on the huge granCstand for
Aviation week will begin this morn
ing. Everything is in readiness
on Dominguez field, the surveying
| being practically completed and the
clearing of the land having progressed
TO such a point that construction may
be undertaken. F. o. Engrum com
pany yesterday was awarded the con-
tract for constructing the grandstand.
The stand will have $4,000 seats.
Three tiers, or total of 1000 separate
boxes, will be built at the base of the
stand. Above the boxes will be the
other seats. Each box will contain
six seats. An auction sale of the
boxes will be held next week.
The EngStrum company has con-
! tracted to complete the huge stand by
the night before Aviation week. The
will give them just ten full days in
which to carry out the contract.
force of 500 men will be put to work
today and will work under forced
draught" so as to complete the huge
stand. Arrangements have been made
with the Pacific Electric company to
haul special trains of lumber to the
field 50 as to expedite matters.
The stand will be $50 feet long. 1t
will permit of an unobstructed view of
the field from every seat. Special pre-
cautions will be taken to make the
structure strong and safe so as to
eliminate possibility of accidents.
Admission prices and railroad rates
for the aviation meet will be the rule
in accordance with the original idea of
the Aviation week committee. The Pa
ciic Electric road has applied to the
interstate commerce commission for
permission to make a reduction of so
per cent in the rates to Dominguez in
order to make the round trip rate 80
cents. No trouble is anticipated in
securing this reduction.
The Aviation week executive commit
tee decided yesterday on the following
admission schedule:
Single admission to Aviation camp,
so cents.
Admission to grandstand, seating 49,
Individual reserved seat for entire
ten days, $3.50.
Box with six chairs, reserved for en-
tire ten days, making a total of sixty
reserved seats, including admissions,
$50.
The arrangement for box seats per-
mits parties to secure reserved seats
in a box set aside for their use
throughout the meet and all admis-
sions necessary for so cents a day per
person. The lowest rate prevailing at
aviation meets already held has been
a general admission of 81, double that
offered for the Los Angeles meet. The
reserved seat charge in the boxes is
about one-fourth the customary.
Every convenience possible for the
comfort of the crowds will be installed
in connection with the seating arrange
ments. Provision has been made for
the sale of cushions at a nominal rate
for those who desire, and a restaurant
will be installed at the grandstand it
self.
The committee arranged with L. p.
Behymer to take entire charge of the
sale of tickets, the ushering, ticket TAX
ing and similar details. Tickets will
be placed on sale at Hamburger's. The
advance sale of season tickets will
probably begin next Wednesday. Re
served seats will only be sold for the
boxes, and those will be disposed of on
the order of first come, first served.
There will be no auction sale or special
disposition of any seats.
S. B. Reeve, the civil engineer in
charge of surveying the field. reported
yesterday that he had practically fin
ished his work. The grandstand site
is to be staked today but this will not
interfere in any way with the con-
struction of the stand. The track for
the aviators is to be 10000 feet in cir
conference and will be elliptical in
shape. The field proper will be two
and half miles long and about half
a mile wide.
Deputies to Guard Grounds
The field will be enclosed with a
canvas wall nine feet high. Sheriff
Hammel and a force of deputies win
guard the wall so as to prevent those
without tickets from entering.
All the highway approaches to Do
minguez are being put into prime con-
dition. The Pacific Electric company
will build spur tracks to the field en-
trance so that, the passengers will not
have long walk to the grandstand
train viii be run to the field every
minute in order to take care of the
immense crowds expected.
