Phelps is involved to the point where it would'be very unethical to go to another engineer with a proposition. 1 Mayor McClellan stated that he will try to set up'a conference with Mr* Lilley of Oceanside and perhaps the Escondido officials, with as many members of the Council as can attend, to learn what they have done on their 1911 Act projects.

Mayor McClellan asked whether it would be safe to start any 1911 proceedings prior to that- time, and Mr. 'Smith stated that the proceedings could be initiated .by filing of notice of intention to dorm the district and could then be called offi in event of appeal.
