THE ENGINEERS REPORT
"In accordance with our promise to
you at the adjourned meeting of the
Boulevard Committee on the 10th in
slant, we herewith present our opinion
as to the route you should adopt for the
Los Angeles and Pasadena Boulevard.
LAS you are aware, the first desire
of your committee was to have the re-
port so full that it should cover, in adj
dition to the physical attributes a report
on the general policy and financial as
pect; in plain, report so full that the
entire cost and advantages should be
demonstrated. This has been rendered
impossible by the subsequent action
taken by your committee in emitting to
supply the data we considered impera-
tive. Your next request was that we
should eliminate all but the physical feat
ures, and while we deprecate the wis
dom of such an incomplete report, we
herewith comply with your desire. We
purposely omit going into engineering
details as matters so strictly technical
that they are out of place for the con-
sideration of general body such as your
committee.
after careful consideration of the
maps, profiles and other data laid be-
fore us, and critical inspection of the
ground, we recommend to you the fol-
lowing route as the one that offers the
least number of objections and the
greatest number of desirable features:
Beginning near the intersection of
Baldwin street and what is known as the
Mission, or Adobe, road Immediately
north of Eastlake Park; thence follow
ing the general alignment of the Adobe
road to about the east line of section
eighteen QS), near the buildings belong
ing to j. G. Newton; thence to near the
southeast corner of the southwest (4)
one-quarter of section (S) eight, on, the
lands of H. G. Emery; thence to the in
tersection of Fair Oaks avenue and
h foI
Oaks avenue to the crossing of the
Southern California and Terminal roads,
passing under same; thence leaving the
direct line of Fair Oaks avenue and in
clining northeasterly about 500 feet:
thence following natural depression
in a northwesterly direction, passing
under the electric road on Fair. View
avenue, and terminating at the present
grade at the intersection of Beacon
street and Columbia street.
1--WE have been forced to omit that
portion of the route lying between the
Plaza and the East Side Park for the
reason. that we found the information
originally asked for by us and placed at
our disposal by the City Engineer did
not include data now rendered necessary
by territory since introduced into the
discussion. Under the direction of the
Council, the City Engineer is preparing
this additional information, and when 1t
comes into our hands we are prepared
to report upon the city end of the boule-
ward"
On motion of Mr.. Slausson the report
of the engineers was received and or
dered placed on file. Then came the
