Dairy Permit Brings Protest ud Monrovians Gather to Prevent Estabbn- School Land Offices of Walter F. Dunn, Monrovia attorney, ware the scene of an indignation meeting Monday evening when representatives of the unincorporated oounty territory, Arcadia and Monrovia citizens and of 4he Monrovia school board met to protest the establishment of the New York Dairy of Paiadena in the territory immediately adjoining the Santa Fe school in Monrovia. Mr. Dunn, W. L.

Orsbu-rn and John J. Bottema were present from Arcadia: C. W. Shallcross represented the Road Improvement association; Mrs. A.

M. Miller and Mrs. R. F. Mfllard, the women of the neighborhood; Mrs.

F. B. Miller the county unincorporated territory; Rev. A. Skeele, the Monrovia citv aehools; Clyde B.

Lowrey, dairy owner; Scott A. Wiley, Independent Dairy association, and E. O. Butler, owner of the New York dairy. Mr.

Butler owns land close to the Santa Fe aehool and is desirous of establishing the New York dairy on his site, but a petition to prevent such a move signed by approximately ninety property owners, has been placed before the Los Angeles County Board of Supervisor High A Tatche'r presented the petition, and the supervisors ordered the Regional Planning commission to make a survey of the territory joining the Santa Fe schools, with a view to zoning tt against dairies. Should they find a large majority in favor of zoning the land, it will be zoned, though opposition has appeared against snch a move. Although Mr. Butler is determined to establish his dairy in the protested zone, It would be a matter of five 01- SIT months before a zone could be established through the board of supervisors, and the possibiity of citizens in the unin- corporaterf territory applying join the city of Arcadia, to bring them under city zoning laws, was considered. County Health depaitment permit which has been issued the dairy was not final, was the opinion of the meeting, as the department is regulatory and has no police jurisdiction.

A special committee has been formed to investigate the territorial conditions and make a report to the Monrovia City Council before they again meet.
