NARROWS IN THE SAN GABRIEL CANYON.
The City Council of the City of Azusa do ,
resolve as follows:
WHEREAS -the road now under construction in the
upper San Gabriel Canyon is not a required highway
along the plans.of the U., S. Forestry Departments
necessary road building plan and,
WHEREAS the money being expended on this road
could be'mdre profitably used to connect the Little
D lton Canyon Road to Camp Bonita with the State
H1'ghway at the Forks, along which route many per-
minent residents now live, and,
WHEREAS the building of the road through the
Gorge for a distance of eight miles is destroying
the most rugged, picturesque mountain scenery in the
Sierra.Madre Range and..
WHEREAS. the U. S. Forestry Department will set
aside 33,000 acres in this district in a Primitive
.Area if this road is stopped, which would be a much
greater asset to all the residents of Los Angeles
County than a not needed road and,.
WHEREAS this road is unnecessary for Forest
protection, is costly to build and would be costly
to maintain, because of its being built in the
cloudburst area and.,
. WHEREAS the,erosion problem caused by the
blasted and loosened earth and debris to be carried
into Dam No. 1 -by the flood waters would be
tremendously increased and,

and broken boulders from the natural cliffs, ruining
the trouts natural feeding waters and preventing the
passage of ,the fish up or down stream.
