LOS ANGELES. Aug 81 1895
To the Honorable the City Council of :he
City of Los Angeles:
Gentlemen: The undersigned citizens
and taxpayers Of the city of Los Angeles,
what is known as the westlake park re-
gion, would respectfully petition your hon
orable body to take extraordinary measures
to prevent the encroachment of oil boring
within the restrictions limited by your hon.
orable council some time ago. We are
alarmed and feel insecure because
Of the statement made by some members
Of your honorable body. and confidentially
made by many who are interested in oil
development that the ordinance proscrib-
ing limit within which oil wells are not
permitted to be bored. surrounding West
lake park is invalid and realizing that /.
Is much easier to protect the territory from
encroachment Of oil wells by the passage Of
a valid ordinance, we would respectfully
request that your honorable body cause
careful examination to be made into the
legality and validity of the present or
dinance. and to repeal 1t II 1t is weak. sub
stituting one that will stand the test Of
law.
Los Angeles has ever been noted for its
beautiful homes, and the Westlake park
region is rapidly becoming a residence sec
ton second to none in the city. and COM
mon intelligence would suggest ample pro-
lection for the homes within that region,
and for the beautiful park created at a
large expense for the use Of the citizens Of
Los Angeles.
Wherefore your petitioners, pray, etc.
A large delegation will accompany the
committee to the council chamber this
morning. to aid In impressing that body with
the fact that although the oil industry has
done much for Los Angeles. II must not be
allowed to despoil one Of the fairest sec
tions Of the city Of its beauty and health
fulness.

Quiet Way

National Labor day was not observed
yesterday by any demonstration. The ma

either stayed at home or went to one or an

families. The fact that California has two
Labor days-one state, one national. and
both legal holidays-concentrates the ef.
