Hi-Y BoysÌName - Their Delegate Peters W ants Action Councilman Peters, who has served on many former councils, opposed the proposal to wait an other year before starting con struction o f the dam. He said the people had been talking water improvements for 16 years to his knowledge, and by their votes last November, had stated definitely that they wanted acr tlon from this council. Council man Woods had the same view, and he ‘ was opposed to further delay. “ 1 am not opposed to building the dam, but I believe we should w ait until the other improve ments are tried out,” was the argument of Councilman Thorn ton. ”1 don’t want people to think that I am against thts work but I do not believe we are reality to build It.” In expressing himself in a sim ilar vein, Councilman Berg ner declared: “ I think It is absolutely poor judgment to build that dam right now.” Other Policies Given Prior to the definite action on the dam, which w ill bo built on the Reeder site, Councilman Letter Falls LOS ANGELES, Feb. 16^— (U N )— L lta Grey Chaplin and the two Chaplin babies w ill move hack into Charlie Chaplin’s Bev erly H ills mansion tomorrow, i She won a court order today authorizing her to take up resi dence in ' the handsome home pending her divorce action. “ I intend to move back tomor row,” was Mrs. Chaplin’s only comment as she left the crowded courtroom, where she testified that Charlies had once threatened heV life and had Insulted guests she brought to the house. Attorneys for Chaplin made no effort to block the court order. In granting the request for rein statement, Judge Guerin ruled that the temporary a l i m o n y awarded Mrs. Chaplin should be reduced from $4,000 to $2,000 monthly, since in the origtnsl grant $1,000 had been considered for her rent. , Mrs. Chaplin testified that she had been living on borrowed money and that ahe was unable to pay the $1,000 rent, due Thurs day on the house into which she moved after she left C h a rily Judge Guerin stopped further testimony and ordsrad that Mrs. Chaplin and the babies bs per mitted Ao occupy the Chaplin house.
