Letter Describes
Calf. Weather

Reading in newspapers about
the extreme recent cold weather
here and elsewhere in the Unit
ed States, prompted Joseph Reich
ert, Newark resident, spending
the winter in Inglewood, Calf. to
pen a few lines regarding the
climate and the elements in that
state.
His letter, in part, follows: AL
together, I'VE have had very nice
weather here. Some rain, bad
storms have done considerable
damage to houses, piers and
beaches. But it has not been
cold. Waves have been rolling
high now for about a month at
Long Beach. Redondo, Hermosa,
Serenado and Manhattan beaches
are completely gone. They have
slipped into the ocean and the
piers, too, are ruined.
Manhattan pier, the fisher
mans paradise, went down with
an estimated loss of 100000.
Last Saturday and Sunday the
temperature ranged between IS
and SO degrees.
