Ashby, Barnes and Root. This COM
mittee will meet with other committees
in a few days and consider the PROPOSE
tlon to purchase the entire Arroyo
property and convert it into a great
natural park.
Illness Delays Action
Representatives of the territory lying
to the east of the city waited upon the
county supervisors today at Los An
geles prepared to secure the amend
ment of the storm water petition as
announced in The Herald a few days
ago. But Deputy District Attorney
Shaw was found to be i'll and the
supervisors did not feel like proceeding
with so important a matter unaided by
his advice. There was some doubt as
to the legality of amending the petition
as desired so as to exclude the Alta
dena district, some of the supervisors
thinking that new petition might be
necessary. District Attorney Freder-
icks did not care to take up the mat
ter after it had been so carefully
studied by his deputy. Some action
may be expected late this week should
Attorney Shaw be able to take it up.

uGII Ol lue new SOll CluD NlllCu pldIlS

Caffrey Arrested for Cruelty
Human officer Sherwin arrested r.
Caffrey tonight for driving a lame
horse and will have him up for trial
tomorrow. Caffrey is driver for the
Sanitary Milk company and when eX-
postulated with by the officer was
impudent and refused to heed the sug-
gestion of the officer. The company
for which the lad was driving heartily
approved of the officers action in or
dering the horse sent to the stables
as unfit, so that the boy is likely to be
searching for another job tomorrow.
