approximately $4,000, is adequate for
all purposes of government for the
present fiscal year.
The bonded Indebtedness of the city
has been reduced to $4,000, and as $4,000
of the principal is payable each year,
the tax levy for caring for this is very
small; in fact so small that non-resi-
dent property owners ask: "How is
the city paying for its sewer system
and new city hall?" The city taxes be
ing so light a factor that a ffteen-mile
sewer system and a city hall make no
impression on a tax receipt
For a city the size of Redondo Beach
the improvements made during the past
four years are i'm a way phenomena l.
The Huntington interests have eXpend-
ed several hundred thousands of dol
lars, and the individual property owner
has contributed to the city's growth to
such an extent that the increased i'm
proVement each year has provided for
the increasing revenues of the city
government and yet these improve
ments are only assessed at 25 per cent
of their cost, an incentive to both the
business man and the home builder to
assist in building up a city where
premium is not paid on improvements

TOOLE'S TEARS

Sallies of almost childlike high
spirits endeared the late J. L. Toole,
the lifelong friend of Henry Irving, to
all who knew him. On one occasion,
when the author of "Some Eminent
Victorians" was spending a day in the
innocent adventures which Toole was
a genius in originating they went to
the tower, where they found themselves
among a party of eager sightseers in
the chamber where the crown jewels
are disposed.
1t was a woman who was explain
ing to the eager throng the history
of the articles displayed. At the end
of n long catalogue she said:
"And this is Anne Boleyns crown"
TOole, apparently suddenly over
come, burst into a flood of tears, and
leaned against the wall in seemingly
uncomfortable grief.
"Oh, sir" inquired the poor woman
in distress, "what is the matter?"
Nothing! Nothing!" replied Toole,
in broken accents. Don't mind me,
but the fact is. have known the fam
ly so long"

REDONDO TAXES

~ VERY Incorporated town is con-
II frOnted with the taxation problem
l. in all of it's varied phases, but it
is not every place that can boast of
low taxes. Redondo Beach and her
property owners have never suffered
from a too heavy taxation, a peculiar
ity due more to luck than for any other
cause. Persons familiar with munich
pal affairs have often wondered how 1t
has been possible for the men in charge
to have conducted the business of a
thriving, growing city on the insig-
nificant sums that have been annually
raised by taxation in Redondo Beach,
and yet maintain the improvements,
pay off bonds, and do a thousand and
one things for the betterment of the
town, and never suffer for money. Per
haps it has been due to good manage
ment and the fact that no graft has
been engendered
The tax book of Rcdondo Beach this
year calls for a total sum of 1923, $685. 06
to be collected for taxes, a sum that
would cause an ordinary ward politi-
clan to blush with shame; but this
amount, together with the revenue de-
rived from licenses, which aggregate

PUBLIC LIBRARY

ON DECEMBER 10, 1908, the Re
dondo library board was form ID
" with the following mem erj:
President, Charles j. Creller, vi e
president, Mrs. S. d. Barkley; seer
tary, E. S. Metzger; Mrs. L. F. Wells
and d. r. Hancock.
The work of organizing library
was Immediately taken up, with the
result that on January 2, 1909 free
public library was established in the
northwest room of the city hall from
where there may hardly be found
prettier view of the ocean and tie
mountains. The ladies, who had for
merly maintained a reading roDm on
the Santa Fe wharf, turned their books
over to the free library. On January
7 occurred the formal opening to the
public, who took this occas'O on to do
nate more books to this new mt +
prise. With the new books bought
though hampered somewhat by lack f
funds, the library started out un Ter
most favorable circumstances, and
has grown steadily, with Mrs. N. f.
Allison as librarian. The ladies clubs
and lodges have shown their inte est
with purchases of books. Differ mt
residents and newspaper compan es
have maintained the reading tabla
with donations of magazines and ne rs
papers.
Mrs Wells finding it necessary t.
resign from the board of trustees, Miss
Mary Storey was appointed I'm her
stead, and upon the resignation of
Mrs. Allison in August, Miss NJ L.
Mckinley was appointed librarian.
The city trustees not wishing to
see RedOndo eclipsed in any way
have apportioned a generous FUND 70
library purposes during this coming
year, and when that is avail BILE it is
hoped we will be started well on Our
way to be the equal of that of any of
our sister towns of like size.

PARENT-TEAcHER ASSOCIATION

TARNEST parents in Redondo
III Beach, like earnest parents every
~ where feel that their first duty
is to properly rear and educate their
children to make the best citizens pos
sible In our country public schools
are such a large factor in this train
ing that the closest alliance should
exist between the parents and the
schools and last winter it seemed ad-
visable to organize the Parent-Teach
er assOcia ton in Redonlo, and we feel
that considerable benefit has accrued
from it.
TWO meeting were held each month,
one in the afternoon for teachers and
mothers and one in the evening for
everyone. At these meetings school
conditions were investigated and dis
cussed The need of cooperation be-
tween teacher and parent and the
ways in which they can assist each
other were thoroughly considered.
Two meetings were given to Moral
in the Schools, touching especially
upon methods of preventing immorai-
ty. one meeting was devoted to SAM
tary Precautions in the Schools" An
evening lecture on public Play
grounds" was much enjoyed and in
May a flower festival and bazaar was
held in the pavilion auditorium, net
ting over $500 to be spent in play
ground equipment. Mothers day was
observed and DR.. Charles E. Locke
gave an address before the associa-
ton An Enthusiasm Meeting was
held in June to encourage high school
students to further pursuance of their
studies in college
No meetings were held during the
summer, but the work will be taken
up this fall with increased inter
est we hope, as there is much which
the association can accomplish, if but
rightlY undertaken.

NO NEWS YET
FROM ASTORS
SINCE NOV. s NOTHING HAS
BEEN HEARD or THE
MILLIONAIRE.

NEW YORK. Nov. 20 Col. John
Jacob Astor's palatial Yacht, the
Nourmahai, containing the multi
millionaire and hts son Vincent, Is
stlll unheard from.
The continued absence Of news
from the Aston yacht is causing
considerable apprehension among
his friends, who fear that the yes
sci may have gone down In the
storm Of Nov no. which wrought
So much damage in jamaica and
the West Indies.
The millionaire's vessel was IN
the wake oi the storm, and as sew
eral vessels more seaworthy than
the Nourmahal were unable TO
weather the gale. Il is feared that
the Aston yacht has met with dts
astor.
The search for the Nourmahal
became international today when
the British cruiser Scylla joined
in the hunt for the vessel Every
wireless station Is sending out
yacht calls In the hope OF locating
the missing craft. while numerous
revenue cutters and other vessels
are also assisting in the search.
The Nourmahal was last heard
from on Nov 8. when guests aboard
the yacht wrote from Kingston Say
ing that they were leaving i'm
mediately for Ponce. where they
would land in a few days
Since that time tho vessel has
not been heard from and neither
has IL reached It's destination
on Nov Mrs. Aston was grant
ed an absolute divorce from her
husband. and Il Is doubtful Il Col
Aston has heard the outcome OF
the suit. The millionaire offered
no defense.
Mrs. Astor. who intends 70 make
her home In Europe. Is consider.
ably exercised over the continued
absence Of news from the NoaFmR'
hal. as her son Vincent Is accom-.
panying her divorced husband on
the cruise.
Several days ago Mrs Astor an.
nouneed that she would not leave
for her future home until the fate
OF the Nourmahal had been deter
mined
