Special to The Herald
POMONA, Feb. 1.-THE new petit
lions in the county division fight are
OUT. Active work has once more been
started and the committee in charge
says there will be no stopping until
sucn majority of the voters have
signed that the Los Angeles county
supervisors will not dare to again re-
fuse the appeal for an election that
will finally decide the matter.
Each petition has attached to it a
map showing the lay of the new coun-
ty and is accompanied by a descriptive
circular clearly describing the boun-
Diary lines. Its area is given as 452
square miles, it's estimated population
as 20,100 and estimated assessed val
uation as $12,500,000.
The work of securing signers will
not be rushed, but plenty of time in
which to make a thorough canvass will
be taken. The voters will be given
a thorough outline of the proposition,
and when their names go down on the
petitions it will be with complete
understanding of all it's boundaries and
prospective advantages.
Following is the petition:
petition for an order for an election
to determine the creation and organi-
| cation of Pomona county from the ter
| Angeles and San Bernardino.
