West Side Recreational Facilities Move Favored
West Side residents gained hope that adequate recreation will be kept for youth as Walter L. Scott reports talks with Harbor Commission engineers about relocating a one story building to a new site four blocks west of Seaside School on W Ocean Ave. The Coast Guard plans to use the Seaside School as barracks for 200 men, prioritizing defense needs over recreation. The Harbor Commission offers a site west of the school near the Anaheim Street bridge and the Flood Control Channel. Scott expects a decision in 10 days and thanks the Harbor Commission for land and benches and equipment for the new site.
