Redlands and San Bernardino to the
number of 200 arrived at o'clock this
evening on the first of a series of get
ting acquainted" excursions between
cities in the San Bernardino valley.

KUN at the club rooms tomorrow night.
Derkum is to ride here on May l, and
to get the local motorbike riders ac-
quainted with him.
Bert Bough, for some years a resi-
dent of this city, is missing. He disap-
peared from his home at 219 South
Brockton avenue, Tuesday, and his
going is as mysterious as the disap-
pearance of Florin Lee in December
last. Bough was married about three
years ago, and his wife was passing
the day with her mother when he dis
appeared. He had changed his clothes
in her absence and left his team in
the barn with harness on. Bough was
out of debt and had money in the bank,
which was not drawn out before his
departure. The only reason so far
offered for his disappearance is the
fact that he has been homesick for
some time, and may have left for his
old home in Indiana.

sANTI-JOlNERS' GET
TOGETHER ON BEACH
Society Is Formed in North Santa
Monica to Oppose ConsoIi-
dalton with ocean
Park

SANTA MONICA, April 29.-As a
result of the consolidation that is being
agitated on this bay there has been
formed in the north side of Santa Mon
lea a so-called committee of safety"
whose purpose is to fight any attempt
to consolidate the cities of ocean Park
and Santa Monica.
1t is stated that a number of prom
inent citizens who are opposed to the
project and who represent a tax Valua-
ton of $1,000, 900 constitute the commit
tee and are prepared to join hands
with the Venice chamber of commerce
and other organizations that may take
the same position with regard to con-
solidation as themselves and conduct
an aggressive campaign against the
movement.
At the consolidation banquet last
evening a number of questions bearing
on this subject were discussed thor
oughly, among them being the proper
ton of the taxes of the combined cities
to the taxes of each under the present
system.
City Attorney Byron c. Hanna OF
Ocean Park, Judge Taft of Santa Mon
lea and Joseph NJ. Call. we'll known as
the father of consolidation" discussed
the legal phases of the movement and,
while no agreement was reached as 10
the actual relation of the law to the
present situation, number of valuable
ideas were interchanged, and the par
tisans were brought into closer I'M
derstanding of each other.
AS the consolidationists are deter
ined to push their campaign with all
the vigor possible and the "antis" seem
Just as determined to carry on a cam
paign of opposition, it is highly prob
able that there will be some stirring
times in the cities of Ocean Park and
Santa Monica before the question is
settled finally. President Webster of
the Santa Monica Bay chamber OF
commerce states that it will never be
settled until the beach cities are con-
SOlidated
