Find Samples of Redwood Trees At 1100-Foot Level

Frank Wells, Inglewood retail lumberman and Rotarian, sent us recently a copy of The Rotary Sentinel, published rveekly by the Inglewood Rotary Club. It carried an interesting article on the Sequoia Sempervirens by the Rotary Club's president, Einar C. Matson.

In the artcle he refers to a well that George Chambers Sr.. superintendent of Inglewood Park Cemetery had drilled in tl-re cemetery being in need of more water for irrigation. At the 1100-foot level, he found many samples of redwood trees. Mr. Matson says, "This is just another local link in the history of the redwoods, which at one time dominated the Inglewood area."
