PASADENA, June 5.--A quiet meet
ing was held at the Hotel Maryland
last evening at which the question of
consolidation with Los Angeles was
discussed in all it's phases.
II is believed that the meeting was
called Immediately upon receipt Of the
news from Sacramento that Governor
Pardee is thinking of calling another
special session of the Legislature at the
urgent request Of Los Angeles that
some action may be taken upon the
question of consolidation. At any
rate Secretary J. A. Miller of the Long
Beach chamber OF commerce, City At
torney Il. G. DEMO and Editor G. L..
Day of the Long Beach Press came
from the beach city and were in con-
sultation for several hours with d. M.
Llnnard. A. ]. Bertonneau, II. G. Ho-
falling, Harry Geohegan, +. Il. Twom-
bley, p. M. Green, s. M. Munson, J.
o. McCament, Lon i. Chaplin, Thomas
Farley and T. d. Allin. It Is stated
today that a committee consisting of
Lon +. Chaplin, II. T.. Twombley and
Thomas Farley was appointed to pro-
ceed to Sacramento, IL found neces-
sary to oppose the move for another
special session.
It seemed to he the sense of the
meeting that Long Beach shall stand
by Pasadena in whatever efforts are
needed to obtain future water sup
ply and that in return Pasadena Is to
aid and abet the beach city In its
efforts to keep from being gobbled up
by the Angel city.
Some of the Pasadenans present in
sisted that Pasadena has no reason
to be anxious to share in the owens
river water project, being perfectly
able by the use of reservoirs
in the narrows and canyons and by
little further quiet search to provide
practically all of the water its future
may demand. Engineer Allin stated
that in his opinion reservoirs will be
necessary along the owens river line
OF conduits and that at the present
time Los Angeles has not more than
twenty-five surveyors at work along
the projected line.
Those present seemed to think it
necessary to keep a watchful eye upon
Los Angeles in order to prevent any
annexation of adjacent territory or
towns not protected by freeholders
charters without their being given a
voice in the movement. The meeting
was unanimously opposed to the pro-
posed second special session
