" , . 'I "In an Arcadia newspaper a report from Congressman Jerry Voorhis . was published relative, to the int<?lerable sewage situation existing in ~ the Japanese Center ,at the race traek plant. 'Congressman Voorhis has been most co-opel'''1,tive in endeavoring to have the sewage problem remedied, and we know of nothing he has not done that could have been done. 'However, I note in his, published report tho following: '!Mean- while I am in receipt of a lette~ froc County Board of Supervisors stat- ing that the Board is conscious of the ,sAwage disP9s~1 problem existing not alone in Arcadia, but in many pports of the San Gabriel Valley. The letter states that the County is wprking on an overall solution of this problem AND HOPES NOTHING WILL BE DONE IN CONNECTIOll,WITH ARCADIA'S PROI3- ,LEM EXCLUSIVELY WHICH MIGHT BE TII' CONFLICT WITH THE' TAKING CARE OF' THE SITUATIOU AT TEMPLE CITY AIID EAST SAll GABRIEL AND SOlilE OTHER COMMUNITIES .'t 'The residents of Arcadia know that this city has not at any I time requested the AI'my to take care of Arcadia's sawRge problem. It has merely asked that tl~ al~Y install an adequ~te sewage disposal system that would cu't/ only for the Japanese centel' - a situation created by the army and not by Arcadia. 'Innumerable citizens of this city wrote to the War Department in Washington asking that a sewage system be establtshed ,to care for a situation the army alone created. Also, many org~nizo.tions in this city passed resolutions protesting the dangerous sowage situation, and asked for rel ief. " 'On my own responsibility I desire to emphatically say that the County Board of Supervisors have not only been of no Rssistance whatever in supporting the position taken by residents of Arcadia, but Ort the con- trary th~ board has been obstructionists of the most vicious sort. At _ the risk of having Arca~ia's underground \mter supp~y contaminated the Board insists that nothing be done to alleviate the , situation unless other communities, not plagued by a problem forced on them by the War Depart- ment, be given relief from a long standing problem - a long standing sewage problem. Assistant Secretary of ' War McCloy should have kno;m that when he dumped tw~ntv thousand persons in one congested center a sewage prob- lem automaticaliy ~as created, and provisions should have been from the I very start to CRre for it. He has said that cesspools were constructed to care for the s~tti.ation and that they were constructed according to specifications. In Arcadia wo lmve highly qualified physicians and,sani- ',tation experts, and they have unhesitatingly stated the, sewage disposal system in,the Japanese Center does create a health menace, no matter how :the.-~cesspools were constructed. The Board of Supervisors, and Ksst .'5ec~'y of War MCCloy should know that Arcadia is not asking and nevor has asked that a sewer system be established ,for Arcadia itself." ' Motion ~as made by Councilman Nugent which was seconded by Councilman Jones and unanimously carried, that said report be incorpor- ated in the Minutes of this meeting, and that copies ,of said,r'epor" be _mailed to Congressman Voorhies, Assistant Secretary of ' War. McCloy and the Los Angeles County Board of Supervisors.
