Photograph was edited for publication purposes Photograph article dated January 8, 1963 partially reads, "Evidence for and against an extension of gravel mining in the Tujunga Wash was being considered today by a Los Angeles Planning Commission examiner. Both sides slugged it out verbally Monday over issues of health, home values, conservation, flood hazards and economics before a standing-room-only crowd of 300... The issue is over an application to extend the gravel mining zone in the wash to allow Livingston Rock and Gravel Co. to mine another 162 acres...
