To the Hon. the Mayor and Common
Council Of the city Of Los Angeles:
GENTLEMEN: Your Committee on
Zanjas, to whom was referred the mat
ter of comforting with the Com
mittee of the Grange Council
relative to site and water power
for paper mill, beg leave respectfully
to report that after examination we
found q good water power near the
property of f. Sabichi, Esq, on Low
er's Lane in the center of the Y"
formed by the railroad track, and
which seemed satisfactory to the gen.
tlemen of the Grange Committee.
As the parties are not here who de-
sire to establish the paper mill, the
Grange Committee will communicate
with them and perhaps induce them
to come here and establish their works,
provided the city encourages the en-
terprise by giving the parties the
water power at the place indicated
above. 1t will be necessary before
your committee would recommend the
giving away of such water power,
that the parties wishing to construct
said mill should go into an agreement
with the city to expend specified
sum of money in the erection Of q mill
and necessary machinery for manu-
featuring.
All of which is respectfully sub
mitted.
