Association Of the Sacramento Valley and tho

for said Convention, duly authorized to act OF this
and all other subjects connected with their interests
Oil the debris question, and if in their Judgment
they deem it advisable, to select ten disnterested
citizens OF San Francisco, Oakland or vi.inity as
members thereof. This Convention will afford the
farming and mining interests an opportunity to
meet together and agree upon the details of plan
upon the basis proposed by the committee if these
interests desire speedy and amicable adjustment

remedy, to enlist the sympathy and support OF the
people of the State and its representatives, Con-
vention should be called in San Francisco, where
they can by mutual concessions settle their differ
euces in prompt and efficient manner
CONCLUSION.
These views. the committee are aware, can have
no further force than q result of an impartial ex-
animation, and they are impressed with the belief
that contest in the Courts will be tedious, ex-
pensive, and fail to settle the question in time to
give relief. In years later, if that course is relied
upon the parties interested will. on taking retro
spectve view of the situatlon, and considering the
amount expended, with the damage which could
have been prevented, conclude that the suggestion
the committee offered at this time, would have been
less expensive and mere satisfactory in its result.
In conclusion, the committee desire to state
that many facts connected with this subject,
and submitted, have not been referred to,
it being the principal aim and desire
of the committee to conduct the examina.
ton and to report thereon with view to
harmonzipg, as far practicable the feeling natu
rally engendered both sides, and to endeavor to
bring about concert of action for mutual protec.
ton in the future. The committee were impressed
with the opinion that intelligent consideration CT
this subject by representatives of the parties inter-
ested, who possess intimate knowledge CT the
evils and the imperative necessity for remedy,
would tend to practical, peaceful and beneficial
solution alike creditable to them and to the people
whom they will represent.
