Report of the City Attorney and the
Engineer-General Routine Busi-
ness-Weekly Meeting Of the
Police Commissioners

After the reading of the journal at
the meeting of the city council yester-
day morning, a. delegation Of citizens
of Pasadena and vicinity, headed by
Supervisor James Hanley, were given
q hearing in the matter of the forest
fires in the mountains back of that
place. The citizens asked that the city
authorities cooperate with the super
visors in fighting the flames, and that
such financial aid, be given as can be
consistently. 1t was urged that the city
has a direct interest in the matter, for
the reason that the fires are on the
water shed of the Los Angeles river,
and that the destruction of the timber
is serious menace to the water sup
ply of the city. Thousands of acres
have already been burned over, and the
loss has so far been enormous, and
every moments delay counts.
After some general discussion, on mo-
tion Of Supervisor Munson, the matter
was referred to the finance committee,
with power to act with the board Of su-
pervisors in taking steps to extinguish
the flames.
