Malibu History Is Of Interest
HOLLYWOOD (UP i —Malibu, the local Riviera blistered by cne of this area’s worst fires, is one of the world’s most chic communities because of a spirited lady who wanted to keep it a wilderness. Today the area known as Malibu runs roughly from Topanga Canyon, north to Santa Monica, to the end of Los Angeles County —about 30 miles of rolling surf, sandy beach, gentle brush-cov-ered hills, canyons and fashionable beach mansions. Forty years ago the place was wilderness, and how it developed is one grand real estate story. Originally Malibu was a 24,000 acre Spanish rancho, the last one in California. Mrs. May Rindge bought the rancho at $10 an acre from a man who acquired it in payment of a grocery bill. Cowboys Rode Borders Mrs. Rindge and her husband raised cattle and shipped the beef out on boats because they didn’t -want any roads to cross their paradise. But government authorities eying a coast highway launched a court fight for roads. Mrs. Rindge hired cowboys to ride her borders to keep road surveyors off the place. She exhausted her fortune in her battle against the roadbuilders. Finally she opened a small beach section of Malibu to the public. The hard-to-get idea appealed to the wealthy, and realtors Dave Duncan and Art Jones helped it along. They put a stone wall and gate around the opened .section, | named it “Malibu Beach Colony” j and added guards. Jones got aci tress Anna Q. Nilsson to build j the first home in the colony, j Richard Barthelemess, Virginia | Bruce and Richard Dix built homes there. Mrs. Rindge laid down unique I rules to the new Malibu-ites. She j only leased, not sold the land— | and in only 30-foot-wide lots at | $30 a month. She hoped to dis- | courage big homes. But the buildI ers put up tall, narrow houses, causing the colony to be dubbed. “The Rich Man’s Hoovemlle.” Flaunted Prohibition Rule Mrs. Rindge also made a rule that “lesses must not consume liquor.” This law was not followed. In 1947 Mrs. Rindge allowed the leased land to be sold and the rest of the Malibu rancho through the years has been sold to home-builders. Today few celebrities live in the original I Malibu colony. They build | stretched-out houses in the rest j of the Malibu rancho, and it was J this area that was hit by the ; j fire. The original Malibu Colony I was spared. Brian Donlevy, William Boyd, | June Havoc, Glenn Fold and j Ronald Reagan are Malibu | rancho sqwllwea. Liz Taylor used ! to walk her poodles on the beach when she and Mike Welding- lived there.

Malibu Is Faced By Flood Threat MALIBU, Calif. (UP)—A serious flood threat from mountains denuded of brush faced southern California today in the wake of a scourge of 10 devasting fires that sw'ept over 45,000 acres since Christmas. Firefighters Sunday biought under control the last four fires in the unusual series of outbreaks, which claimed one life, destroyed 67 homes and inflicted more than 60 million dollars in property and watershed damage. But the fires posed another theat. Authorities feared serious floods would result from approaching winter rains which could send torrents of runoff water cascading down denuded mountain slopes into inhabited areas. Such floods could prove as destructive or worse than the fire plague itself. In the past, floodwaters in fireravaged areas have caused severe damage. President Eisenhower declared the fire areas a “disaster area” Saturday. The weather helped firefighters beat down the last flames of the fires that were among the worst in southern California history.
