It says Whittier is opposed to going into the new county of Pomona, and as Los Angeles is inclined to place the boundary at the San Gabriel river, this territory will undoubtedly become a part of Orange county. Let's see. Los Angeles doesn't have all the say in this matter. It says whether we are to be taken in or not, and we are to say whether we will go in or not. Guess it takes two to make a bargain. Maybe Los Angeles will not be able to slough us off so easily. We'll see.
