Navy Offers City 285000 for Base Site and Housing
The Navy proposes 285000 to the city with a premium for bond repurposing as municipal noncallable issues attract strong demand. Councilman J P Butler suggests part of funds could aid civic auditorium construction. The peninsula and Anaheim Landing were taken in January, increasing acreage near Surfside and the county to about 5000. Officers are assigned with a skeleton crew and 1500 more enlisted personnel will arrive next month per Capt A B McCrary.

Trailer Ordinance Discussed at Council Meeting
Seal Beach council discussed studying other cities trailer park ordinances before passing a new local rule. The size of the town's trailer park raised concerns that current laws are inadequate and licensing provisions were debated with no firm fee set. Garbage collection costs were noted as underfunded by the existing license, and a sewer line expansion to the park could entail significant city expenditure.
