Editorial on Gov Brown's federal aid for rapid transit
The piece questions federal involvement in funding and running city rapid transit in California. It notes traffic growth, interurban rail decline, and cites the interstate highway program as a model.

Local Legislation on Marina Fees Questioned by Council
The Long Beach City Council postponed six months for study on slip rentals after Assemblyman Bruce Allen pushed a resolution. The measure, passed without argument, signals no profit motive for tidelands operations, but critics say the city must run tidelands like a business and consider impacts on tidelands funds and private competition.

Long Beach Pavilion Dream Reborn After Fire
Long Beach built its first pavilion in 1897 to attract visitors with sea views and music by Professor Meine’s band. The structure doubled in size by 1902, but a January 1905 fire destroyed it, costing about 15000 dollars. Prominent locals offered to finance a bigger pavilion, yet trustees refused, insisting the city should build it itself.
