IOI2 CALIFORNIA ACADEMY OF SCIENCES. 



We say improve Mountain Lake, beautify it, and make its ever-flowing 

 springs useful by stocking it with fish. Therefore be it 



Resolved, That the California Academy of Sciences strongly opposes the 

 proposed filling in of any part of the Mountain Lake, and iirgently requests 

 the authorities of the War and Interior Departments of our Government at 

 Washington to preserve the lake intact in order that it may some time in 

 the future be beautified and utilized. 



Resolved, That copies of this resolution be forwarded to the Secretary 

 of the Interior and the Secretary of War, also to the Senators and Repre- 

 sentatives in Congress, as well as to the Mayor and Supervisors of this city.
