The
Pact Near on Bailout for Long Beach Grand Prix
Long Beach directors will decide at 3pm Wednesday whether to approve a $100000 advertising contract between the Long Beach Convention and News Bureau and the Long Beach Grand Prix Association to help relieve the racing group’s debts. The bureau would total $235000 in support, drawn from a city hotel tax. Harbor Department has not been asked about a $50000 advertising deal. The Grand Prix needs $400000 from private sources to meet debts and an amended city agreement allows delay of $120000 owed if private funds are raised. City council members differ on whether support is private money.
