Long Beach Votes On Subsidence Charter Amendment
Citizens face a pivotal vote to allow the city to enter a unitized oil field program for the life of the Wilmington Field. The measure, aimed at stopping subsidence via water injection, requests a narrow exception to 25 year contract limits and seeks broad participation by all interests to avoid future equity disputes. A large yes vote is urged to advance sound unitization legislation.

Bar Rental Increase at Vet Building
City Council ordinance committee rejected a proposal to raise office rental fees at the Veterans Memorial Building for veterans organizations. After Elmer B. Allmeroth protested, members voted down the new charges, noting the building was financed with public funds for veterans service, not revenue. The plan would have raised some offices from 4 to 10 dollars monthly and from 7.50 to 25 dollars for another group, based on an auditor’s report that current rates have stood since 1837.
