~- ~I~O]~ES OF PP~EVIOUS i~ETINCS: The ~linutes of the Regulator i~eting of ~2arch ~rd, 19&l,

CC~PLAINT ~r~EGf~DI~G CIT~, DU~,~P: Y~r. ~natey of the State Fish and Game Co~t ssion
appeared before the Council to complain against the practice of dumping lemons at the
City dump which were subsequently washed into the Bay and now cause au unsightly con-
dition along the Bay shore from Chula Vista to National City particularly. His
interest at the present time is chiefly to stop further dumping of lemons in this
spot amd also to have the existing debris cleaned from the Bay shore. He reported hav-
ing had conferences with ~r. Love, Street Superintendent, !~r. Chaso A. Butler of the
Chula Vista Citrus ~issociation and Y~r. Aaron Riesland of the Chula Vista Orange Growers
Association and there seems to be quite a difference of opinion as to whose responsibility
this condition is. The caretaker at the city dump maintains that no authority was given
the drivers from the citrus packing plants to dump lemons on the edge of the water but
rather that they were told to dump them on the higher ground. Different truck drivers
of the citrus plants maintain that they were deliberately told to dump the lemons where
they did. Inaamuch as ~,~r. %'~haley demanded some definite action be taken Mayor Done
advised that he would contact the offending parties and work out a satisfactory solution.
