Urgency Factor in Tidelands Funds for Y and Annex
The 1956 tidelands settlement leaves the city’s right to spend tidelands money on the Armed Services YMCA and the Municipal Auditorium Annex undetermined. The Attorney General favors simultaneous court review of both, but the city seeks separate consideration. The YMCA faces urgent needs due to subsidence, access issues, and serving 35,000 military personnel, while the Annex is less time sensitive.

Still a Great Agricultural Empire in Los Angeles County
Los Angeles County remains a leading agricultural region despite land being diverted to housing and industry. A 1956 Federal Census ranking places the county third in farm product value, with plant crops yielding 8.76 million dollars on 198,600 harvested acres, aided by favorable weather and pest control. Subdivisions have reduced yields from 1955 to 1956, but nurseries, citrus, celery, lemons, alfalfa, and strawberries contributed substantial sums. citrus acreage fell while water availability suggests more land could be cultivated to offset urban expansion.
