Attorney |General Starts an • Action-'Against the City of Wilmington

in the Superior CourtPetition In quo warranto was filed

yesterday In the superior court by U-:S3. Webb, attorney peneral for the stateof California, In the case of the peopleagainst the city of Wilmington. .

The petitioni3filed at the request of*Xi.,A. McConnell, a property owner ofWilmington, who contends that the re-cent Incorporation of the city Is voidand that the trustees have no right tohold ofllce because of. the fact thatthe city was already Incorporated be-fore.the last incorporation. -

He RBkB the superior court to issue apermanent injunction, restraining theofficers from acting as such.

Mr. Kent and Mr. Ayers, who re-turned to Los Angeles yesterday, haveapartments in the Hollenbeck hotel.Both men are kept .busy with theirreports which they are making to thegovernment on the progress of theirpresent mission. Mr. Kent willmakeLos Angeles his headquarters for sev-eral weeks longer. He will then bonorth into the. state of, ,Washington,where the forest •reserves '

are laid outin many Instances according to longi-tude and latitude. .The latter are saidto be almost absurd and are badly inneed of correction.

The boundaries of the forest reservesare very much inneed of resurveying,says Mr. Kent, and at present decidedsteps toward that end in the south-western part of the United States arebeing taken by the government.

The last surveys were made manyyears ago and in some Instances great

sections of land are being added toand taken from the old reserves. Thereserves now being Inspected by Mr.Kent and his fourteen assistants arebeing determined down to the forty-acre limit, the smallest section of landthat may be taken by a settler.

"A wrong impression of the natureof these reserves seems to prevailthroughout the country," sold Mr. Kentlast night. "Itis not the purpose ofthe government to prevent the devel-opment of these lands or the acquiringof the same, only incases where It will

Interfere with the watersheds that arean Imperative necessity in the south-west particularly.

"Land holders are encouraged toseek the purchase of forest lands solong as their acquiring the same .doesnot interfere in the way which Imentioned."

W. H. B. Kent, chief of section ofreservation boundaries of the UnitedStates forest service, returned to LosAngeles yesterday • after an extensivetrip in the Santa Barbara, San Gabrieland San Bernardino mountains. Mr.Kent has been accompanied on his re-cent trip by R. W. Ayres, also of theUnited States forest service.
