Long Beach Pumps
Sea Water to Stop
Downtown Sinking
LONG BEACH, Calif., W — For
years downtown Long Beach has
been slowly sinking—and putting
up walls to hold off the ocean.
But this subsidence may stop
soon, city officials say, because
the palm tree-shaded parks, of
fice building sites and broad
streets now rest on water instead
of air. And it’s about time, they
say, because one building worth
$22 million has dropped 27 feet
since the 1930s.
They blame the oil wells. For
years hundreds of them have been
pumping out the black gold from
an abnormally shallow deposit.
The sandy earth was left with no
thing to beef it up. The surface
began subsiding into the shape of
a giant bowl.
The center and deepest part is
under Long Beach’s bustling har
bor. The shoreline forms one of
the bowl’s edges.
As the earth settled, pipelines
were pinched off, storm drains
and sewers disrupted, railroad
tracks buckled and buildings
cracked.
Most folks just waited and
hoped the sinking would stop.
But some decided it wouldn’t stop
while millions of gallons of oil
and large deposits of natural gas
were being removed. The only
remedy, they said, was repressur
ization.
After extensive legal work, the
city started a few years ago to
pump sea water into the ground.
To date, 250 million barrels have
gone through perforated pipes
into the sandy soil. In the last
year the injection has averaged
370,000 barrels a day.
B. N. Hoffmaster, chief harbor
engineer, looked at his charts
Monday and announced: “Sub
sidence has stopped in some areas
and has been greatly slowed in
others in the last 2Vi years.”
Something New In Bologna:
Chicken Franks and Bird Dogs
LOUISVILLE, Ky., UPt—Smoked
chicken bologna?
It’s next, says Dr. Robert Baker
of the Cornell University.
He told Kentucky poultrymen
yesterday that a new chicken
product has been test-marketed in
Ithaca, N.Y., under the names of
•’chicken frankfurters” and “bird
dogs.” He said they captured 15
per cent of the hot dog market.
