306 CALIFORNIA ACADEMY OF SCIENCES. 



near Point Lobos Avenue, measuring 240xl57y\ feet, and 

 convert it into a school lot. As soon as this matter was 

 brought beforo the Board of Supervisors the chairman of 

 this committee and Trustee Molera appeared before the 

 Board of Supervisors, remonstrated against the intended di- 

 version, and gave notice that this Academy wonld resist, bj 

 all lawful means, any attempt to deprive it of the use of 

 said lot. 



On examination of the records of the Board of Supervi- 

 sors, 3'our committee finds that said lot was duly set apart 

 aiid dedicated to the uses of this Academy by the Board 

 of Supervisors of this city and county, which action was 

 ratified by an act of the Legislature of this State. The 

 formal acceptance of said dedication by this Academy was 

 made by this Board of Trustees, and now this committee 

 considers the right to said lot to be in this Society. 



Your committee takes this opportunity to express the 

 opinion that in view of the general desire of the members 

 of the Academy of Sciences to have a building for the use 

 of the Academy, and as a source of revenue, on the lot on 

 Market street, the incoming Board of Trustees should pro- 

 ceed at once to take the necessary steps to build on the 

 Market street lot, and we hope to see the foundations laid 

 daring the present year.
