Political cartoon featuring the “General Pete Monkey Circus,” commentary on Santa Monica Bay drilling, 1954

Description:
The cartoon references “Gen’l Pete” – shorthand for General Petroleum Corporation. In 1954, a contractual agreement was made between General Petroleum and the Santa Monica City Council in which the oil concern was granted a 10-year lease on Santa Monica tidelands. General Petroleum offered the city $500,000 and 35% royalties from recovered oil. The contract was dependent on a voter referendum that would change pre-existing city ordinances, thus allowing for oil drilling in city-owned tidelands. The amendment proposal lost by a 3:1 margin. In addition, Bartlett references the Civic Auditorium (on the building at top right), likely referring to a $2,895,000 bond issue also up for referendum. The bond was approved by voters.
