  • Fair, James C. Flood, Mackay, O'Brien, 1943, 1876, 1872, 1870s, 1869
  • The Bonanza Firm . . . took control of the Hale & Norcross in 1869. Mackay and Fair had two idle mills at the time, which they wanted to put in operation. Additional mills were acquired as more ore was developed, and, when that mine began to fail, the Firm took a gamble on the Con. Virginia, partly in the hope of finding some low-grade ore in the old upper workings for their idle mills. That hope was not realized, but [p. 253] the lucky discovery of ore of moderate grade on the 1200 level soon put their mills to work. As the bonanza developed more mills were built or purchased, with the result that all of the bonanza ores were worked by the [Bonanza] Firm, chiefly in large low-cost mills. 1943, 1870s, 1869
  • Along with the Bank Crowd and Senator J.P. Jones, one of the three groups in control of the Comstock, 1943, 1876
  • The Bonanza Firm had twelve mills in operation: the largest being [p. 198] the new Con. Virginia and California mills, which reduced 630 tons every 24 hours, 1943, 1876
  • The productive mines ceased to own their own mills, except in small part, and had their ores reduced in mills belonging to the men in control of the mines. [p. 253] Sharon was followed by Jones and by the Bonanza Firm, who controlled the producing mines which were not in Sharon's hands, 1943
  • The milling rates of the Bonanza Firm were moderate, 1943, 1876
  • Subsequent to press criticism, Mackay and his associates acted openly and became members of the boards of their [own mills and mines] concerns, 1943, 1890s, 1880s

  •  A SMSD bond issue was for a $15,000 school structure which eventually became the first separate high school building., 1952,
  • Held May 12, 1902, provided the funds for the new South Side School Buildingwith only four dissenting votes out of the 205 votes cast, 1952, 1902
  • The board of trustees called a special election for the reorganization of the city government and to vote on bonds for the construction of an adequate city hall. The bonds were passed for the new city hall and the building was completed in 1903. [80. Santa Monica Evening Outlook July 8, 1950, p. 3B.], 1952, 1950, 1903
  • In 1905 and 1906, the voters approved three additional SMCD bond issues totaling $135,000 to construct six additional elementary schools. 1952, 1906, 1905
  • On May 2, 1906, the voters of Santa Monica again turned out to the polls in even larger numbers and approved the bonds by a vote of 288 to 66. The women of the (Child Study) Circle of the Santa Monica Women's Club) had once again secured a record vote approving another $60,000 worth of school bonds, an almost stupendous sum for the small beach city to assume when it had virtually no industry to help increase its assessed valuation, 1952, 1906, 1900s
  • As a result of the three school bond issues, six new buildings were added to the district in less than two years. The buildings ranged in size from the one-room Westside School to the large eight-room buildings for the Garfield and Jefferson schools, 1952, 1900s
  • Tuesday, January 24, 1911. Bonds in the amount of $200,000 were voted to the high school district to meet the cost of a new site and the necessary buildings to establish the high school on the top of Prospect Hill. Out of the 875 votes cast, 768 favored the bonds. [55. Board Minutes, Jan. 30, 1911], 1952, 1911
  • In 1911, the voters endorsed expansion of the secondary school program by approving a $200,000 bond issue to establish a new site and plant for the SMSD high school on Prospect Hill, midway between Ocean Park and Santa Monica proper, 1952, 1911
  • On August 8, 1912, the [Santa Monica] electors voted another $150,000 for the schools, of which $65,000 had been allotted to the high school for gymnasiums and other improvements. [61. Board Minutes, Aug. 14, 1912.] From this bond money a health unit was constructed to serve as an emergency first-aid room and rest room for those who were not well, 1952, 1912
  • A Santa Monica bond issue of May 20, 1919, provided $30,000 to meet the costs of the Memorial Bowl at Santa Monica High School, an outdoor Greek Theater, seating 3000, 1952, 1921, 1919
  • A school bond issue, passed in 1923, had provided the board with the funds necessary to purchase a site and build a new plant for the Lincoln Junior High School. Accordingly, it selected a nine-acre site between California and Washington Avenues and extending eastward from Fourteenth Street to Sixteenth, and advertised for bids on the new plant. [15. Board Minutes, Nov. 28, 1923. Among the lots acquired for the school were those set aside by Senator Jones and Colonel Baker for a young ladies' seminary. [Pearl, op. cit., p. 75.]]
  • When the Lincoln Junior HIgh School plant was completed in 1924, it represented an investment of more than $600,000. The property had been purchased for approximately $50,000 and the cost of the buildings, exclusive of equipment, was $443,000. The remainder of the overall cost was applied to landscaping, fencing, and equipment. [16. Pearl, Santa Monica City Schools, p. 75. ]
  • With this heartening assurance from Washington, the Board of Education called another school bond election for November 12, 1935, with bonds totaling $290,000. This sum represented 20 per cent of the total cost of the proposed program as required by the Works Progress Administration. The campaign for the bonds that followed stirred Santa Monica as no previous campaign had done, with civic organizations, women's clubs, parent-teacher associations, and even high school students and children from elementary grades taking part. Nevertheless, the opposition was strong, and to the usual cries of waste and extravagance it now added lurid charges of graft and corruption. The Outlook commented editorially:
    • "That Santa Monica needs new school construction is undeniable; that anyone should attempt to controvert such a movement is unthinkable.
    • "A more sound and completely invulnerable plan could scarcely be devised whereby any municipal corporation of any bond district would receive an outright gift of four dollars for every dollar voted in a bond issue.
    • "If the city repudiates this measure at the polls, certainly it will be performing a nasal excision, for some other city will get the allotment, and Santa Monicans will have to pay their share of the bill in exactly the same amount as though the $1,500,000 was being spent upon the improvement of Santa Monica, and the safeguarding of Santa Monica school children.
    • "The work must be done. Only one issue exists, whether the citizens of this city want the work to be done with a Federal grant, and reduce the municipal taxes, or whether they want the work to be done with money from the already heavily budgeted municipal treasury and the added load of stiffly increased taxes." [18. Santa Monica Evening Outlook, Nov. 9, 1935, p. 6.]
  • Early in October of 1933, while the citizen's committee was still studying plans with the engineers, another earthquake but of relatively minor intensity, disturbed the public mind. The committee, perhaps somewhat influenced by the latest tremblor as well as what they had witnessed and the reports they had perused, advised the Board of Education to call a bond election for the purpose of providing funds for strengthening and reconstruction of school buildings, to the amount of $200,000. The bond election, held October 24, 1933, failed to receive the necessary two-thirds vote, thus leaving the Board without funds to carry out the recommendations made. [11. Santa Monica Evening Outlook, Oct. 25, 1933, p. 1.]
  • There is no question that the fact of the Federal Government's willingness to make an outright gift to the district of $1,500,000 armed the bond campaigners with a powerful argument. [19. Pearl, op. cit., pp. 62-3.] But even more powerful was the argument that if the bonds carried, the immediate employment of some 1400 Santa Monica residents would follow, and via their wages a large part of the $1,500,000 would begin to circulate through local channels of trade, blessing empty tills as it traveled. The school bonds carried, and with a record-breaking nine-to-one majority. [20. Board Minutes, Nov. 18, 1935.], 1952, 1935, 1930s
  •  But funds were not sufficient to complete the [High School] project, and in 1936 an additional $250,000 in bond money was voted for the purpose.
  • A proposed bond issue of $3,500,000 for the various schools was placed before the voters of the Santa Monica School District in 1944. The bond issue carried, and $1,283,000 was earmarked for the purpose of building a new city college, 1952, 1944
  • Part of The bond issue of 1946 was allocated to complete the John Adams Junior High School plant, and from this money, in 1948-1949, there was constructed an auditorium with a seating capacity of 750, a large gymnasium with connecting facilities for the girls' locker room and showers, and a four-unit shop building for metal work, wood work, and mechanical drawing, 1952, 1949, 1948, 1946
  • Bond Issue of 1950, 1952
  • But a half-finished City College could not fulfill President Sandmeyer's expectation, and to complete the college plant required funds. Thus, the Board of Education, upon recommendation of Superintendent Briscoe, authorized a survey of the population, enrollment trends, and school building needs throughout the district, realizing that the submitting of another bond issue to the voters was inevitable. [84. Board Minutes, April 10, 1950.] From the results of the survey, the board determined the needs of the district at all levels to be nearly $5,000,000 for land acquisition, buildings, and improvements. The bond issue was submitted to the voters in November of 1950, and met with their approval. As a result, City College will receive additional facilities through the construction of a large science building, a gymnasium, a cafeteria-homemaking building, an auditorium, and further additions to the music and art buildings.

    • Fouquieria is a genus of 11 species of desert plants, the sole genus in the family Fouquieriaceae.
    • The genus includes the Ocotillo (F. splendens) and the Boojum tree or Cirio (F. columnaris). They have succulent stems with thinner spikes projecting from them, with leaves on the spikes.
    • They are unrelated to cacti and do not look much like them; their stems are proportionately thinner than cactus stems and their leaves are larger.
    • These plants are native to northern Mexico and the bordering US states of Arizona, southern California, New Mexico, and parts of southwestern Texas, favoring low, arid hillsides.

    • The plans for the first group of buildings, about one-half the total needed for the City College, were ready for Board approval in June of 1950. Subsequently, bids were advertised and a contract let in August, 1950, for the construction of the administration building, the main classroom building, library, student activities building, speech arts building, art building, and music building. The total cost of seven buildings, including site improvements, approximated $1,200,000. [82. Johnson, op. cit., p. 67.], 1952, 1950
    • The City College was, at last, assured of a permanent home. Ground was broken on September 11, 1950, for the construction of the first seven buildings. These are to be of reinforced concrete construction and of contemporary modern design. Off-street parking facilities will be provided for approximately 500 automobiles, 1952, 1950

True, Miss O'Leary had been aided and abetted by an "act of God," for the earthquake of 1933 had rendered the old building unsafe for occupancy, and thus it had been razed. But from the record there can be little doubt that much credit is due the principal who, for eleven years, never missed an opportunity to call needed improvements to the attention of those who had the power to make such improvements materialize.

  • Lincoln Junior High School, 1952, 1923, 1920s
    • The unexpected and rapid development of the city in the early 1920's indicated that a more extensive junior high school plant would be required in the northern part of Santa Monica. Indeed, by 1923, the Lincoln School, which served that area, had become so inadequate to house the number of pupils attending, that the board determined to take immediate action to remedy the situation. A school bond issue, passed that year, had provided the board with the funds necessary to purchase a site and build a new plant for the Lincoln Junior High School. Accordingly, it selected a nine-acre site between California and Washington Avenues and extending eastward from Fourteenth Street to Sixteenth, and advertised for bids on the new plant. [15. Board Minutes, Nov. 28, 1923. Among the lots acquired for the school were those set aside by Senator Jones and Colonel Baker for a young ladies' seminary. [Pearl, op. cit., p. 75.], 1952, 1920s

    • On August 8, 1912, the [Santa Monica] electors voted another $150,000 for the schools, of which $65,000 had been allotted to the high school for gymnasiums and other improvements. [61. Board Minutes, Aug. 14, 1912.] From this bond money a health unit was constructed to serve as an emergency first-aid room and rest room for those who were not well, 1952, 1912
    • The largest project in the building program was the complete rehabilitation and modernization of the high school. W.P.A. funds provided a new auditorium, Barnum Hall, which included practice rooms for band and orchestra as well as two music classrooms; a boys' gymnasium; a new wing to the library; and a new shop building. [26. Beach City Labor Journal, Santa Monica Schools Edition, October, 1937, p. 3.] But funds were not sufficient to complete the project, and in 1936 an additional $250,000 in bond money was voted for the purpose. When the high school plant was finally complete, the Board of Education and the W.P.A. had spent more than $1,225,000 in remodeling and new construction. [27. Loc. cit.], 1952, 1937, 1930s
    • The [Santa Monica High School] auditorium building, constructed after the earthquake of 1933, was named Barnum Hall in honor of [W'F. Barnum's] long and faithful service to the school, 1952, 1933
    • The entire group of buildings, including the newly added auditorium, gymnasium, and art wing, brought about the real completion of the high school campus. The dream of years had been realized in the new auditorium that was opened in September, 1938. Since that time, it has served as a most adequate facility for all of the high school functions and has been the only auditorium of its size and appointment for all large civic affairs, 1952, 1938, 1930s

    • But bad as conditions were generally, the observation probably is not unwarranted that the schools of southern California, due to the exigencies described in the preceding section of this chapter, were doubly pressed for money with which to repair damaged buildings and maintain an educational program on greatly reduced tax moneys. Their comeback and even forward progress are doubtless due, at least in large measure, to the aid received from the Works Progress Administration. [22. Charles H. Judd Federal work Program for Better Schools, School and Society, 65, March 21, 1937, 410.]
    • The establishment of the S.E.R.A. (State Emergency Relief Administration) had made possible a start on the demolition of condemned buildings, and the Santa Monica School District, faced with the necessity of rebuilding almost every schoolhouse, had made application for additional funds with which to finance required reconstruction. But the state had only limited emergency money to spend, and the rehabilitation program undertaken with S.E.R.A. labor was forced to an abrupt end. [23. Santa Monica Evening Outlook, July 8, 1950, p. 7G.], 1952, 1950, 1933
    • Robert Peterson, 1952, 1933
      • Builder, 1952, 1933
    • The money allotted to these and various other S.E.R.A. projects in the vicinity, had alleviated somewhat the unemployment problem in Santa Monica. But with the exhaustion of the emergency funds, the economic outlook again took on a darkened aspect. 1952, 1933
    • Then, ten weeks after the close of the State projects and just one week after the approval of the $290,000 school bonds, the new projects secured by Morton Anderson and approved by Washington, D.C., under the Works Progress Administration, got under way. Unemployed men had jobs again, and local merchants, because of the wages of these men were able to smile with less restraint than formerly. [24. Pearl, op. cit., p. 64.]
    •  The Santa Monica schools secured maximum benefits from the funds provided by the Works Progress Administration. John Adams Junior High School, the Roosevelt School, the Washington School, and the Grant School were provided with new plants John Muir and Franklin elementary schools were made quake-resistant by the removal of the second story and the strengthening of the lower floor, with additional classrooms being provided to replace those that had been removed. Each of the buildings was modernized and brought up to state standards. Although few changes were made in the original plans of the Lincoln Junior High School and the Madison and McKinley elementary schools, all these buildings were completely rehabilitated and made earthquake resistant. Structural reinforcement, walls filled with concrete by the Gunite process, and modernization adapted these plants to more modern school use, 1952, 1930s
