Long Beach Dam idea tied to tidelands windfall plan
A suggestion to name a major dam or canal after Long Beach rises from the city’s stake in California tidelands profits. The piece notes the $120 million windfall going to the state treasury from Long Beach, credits local initiative for tidelands oil development, and urges statewide recognition while cautioning about public interest. It includes a tribute to Oil Executive Will J. Reid for scouting and youth work and a nod to lingering 1954 political signs.
