THAT MYSTERIOUS REPORT.
That mysterious report from Mr..
Purcell, the Los Angeles engineer, upon
the condition of the sewer farm, again
bobbed up, but was carefully kept out OF
reach of reporters and other curioua
people who might be interested in its
contents.
This report. it will bs remembered,
was received several weeks ago snd has
since been carried around in some coun-
cilman's pocket to keep it out of eight.
At today's session it was turned over to
the clerk, but he refused to allow preeH
representatives TO see it. From the care
with which the document is guarded one
might believe that it con tanned evidence
enough to eend half OF Pasadena to Jail.
1t ie, however, matter OF doubt
whether the clerk has right to with
hold the document from the public after
it has been filed.
No formal action was taken adopting
the report, but upon motion of Mr.. Cox.
its author, Mr.. Purcell was appointed
superintendent of the sewer farm at a
salary OF $3.50 per month, his term of
office to expire at the will of the council.
GENERAL BUSINESS.
