The Sewer Commission met yesterday
afternoon, Mr.. G. N. Wells in the chair,
and Messrs. G. W. Knox, ]. R. Tober.
man, DR.. Sinsabaugh, E. M. Hamilton,
J. T. Culver, J. Good, Geo. Hansen, W.
81. Workman, and Councilmen Hamil-
ton, Summerland and Skater, present.
Councilman Hamilton, of the Com.
mittee on Interior System, reported that
there had been no meeting of the com.
mittee during the week, and there was
no report to make.
Mr.. Culver, of the Committee on
Utilization of Sewage, asked for one
weeks further time. He moved that a
second committee, consisting of g. W.
Knox, DR.. Sinsabaugh and Councilman
Summerland, be appointed to make q
further investigation into the sewer
plans.
Ex-Mayor Workman, of the Com.
| mittee OH Outfaii Sewer asked tor
further time, as the bids for taking care
OF the sewage had not been received by
the Council. He was certain that the
committee was of the opinion that in any
case the right of way to the ocean should
be obtained, go that the city might bs
independent.
MIR. Culver modified his original mo-
ton by asking that Messrs. Knox and
Sinsabaugh be added to the Committee
on Utiliz alton of Sewage, Carried.
Mr.. E. M. Hamilton moved that q
committee of three be appointed on
storm drains.
Mr.. Culver thought that the Com.
mittee on Interior System had
this in charge, and that
there was no necessity for an extra COM
mittee. DIR. Sinsabaugh thought that
the two systems were separate and he
preferred that a separate committee be
appointed to take charge of this branch
of the subject.
The motion was then carried.
Mr.. Knox thought that it would be a
good idea to invite all the people resid-
ing in the Vernon district to meet with
the committee on Tuesday next. The
residents could give their ideas as to the
nee of sewage and the committee could
afterwards visit the Vernon district.
DR.. Sinsabaugh said that in his opin.
ion this was good plan. He would
also like to interview the people living
in districts irrigated with water alone
and in districts that are not irrigated.
By this means good opparison could
i &c made.
Mr.. Knox moved that meeting be
held on Tuesday afternoon, and that the
people residing in the Vernon district be
invited to be present and give their
views.
Mr.. Shafer suggested that the notice
be broad enough to reach those who had
used sewage, or are using it, or are
affected by it,
mr.. Knox said his motion included
this idea, and reduced it to writing. when
| it was1adopted.
The notion read az follows:
RESOLVED, That an invitation is hereby
extended to all persons now residing or
who at any time in the past have resided
in the vicinity of any portion of the City
of Los Angeles, where sewage has been
used for irrigation upon farms or other
lands, to meet with the Committee on
| Utilization of Sewage at the City Council
chamber on Tuesday the 22d day OF
October, at 2 o'clock p. M, for the pur-
pose of informing the committee as to
their experience and knowledge of the
effects of such use of said sewage upon
the health of families or persons living
in the vicinity where such use has been
made of such sewage. The Invitation is
general in the fullest sense of the term
to all who have personal knowledge on
this subject, and are willing to give such
knowledge for the public good.
