Description
Rock crushing in the Arroyo Seco by the Los Angeles Rock and Gravel Company was not looked upon favorably. Their activities invited multiple lawsuits, ultimately spelling fines and some arrests for Los Angeles Rock and Gravel employees. The controversy was reported on in "Crushers Seek to Compromise: Los Angeles Gravel Company Makes Offer; City to Vacate Street and Two Alleys; Effort Made to Avoid Chance of Litigation," Los Angeles Times, 30 Oct. 1922: II7; "Damages Asked of Diggers," Los Angeles Times, 11 Nov. 1922: II1; "Hawley to Pay Fine in Contempt: Rock Man is Assessed Penalty for Permitting Shovel to Work," Los Angeles Times, 1 Feb. 1924: A5; and "Gravel Company Accused," Los Angeles Times, 30 Sep. 1926: A13.
