ed if amendment No. 11 is passed by
the voters Tuesday, according to Attorney Allen Miller of Low Angeles.

this week. in the Interest of the bill.
The amendment empowers the
city of Huntington Beach to use
tidewater lands within the city»
boundaries for recreational and industrial purposes, Attorney Miller
explained.
The chief source of revenue would
be derived through oi! development

a strip of shore land where there are
no residences nor business, he said.
“The beach. at this point Is heaxed by a ten-foot retaining wall and
has no value for recreational purposes. It is estimated that the city
and state would receive millions of
dollars from such off-setting.
“Opponents of the measure are
urging the people to ‘save the
beaches’ but in this case there is no
beach to save. The amendment affects only Huntington Beach and can
be Interpreted in no other manner,”
he suid.
“The bill was passed. by both
houses of legislature In 19231. but
