County officials will return in 60 days with specific renovation proposals to change MacLaren's ``cottages,'' where as many as 50 children have been living temporarily in 25-person dorms.

The board also ordered a series of other anti-crowding efforts at the 170-bed center in El Monte, which was jammed with up to 260 youths on peak days last fall. MacLaren's population already has dropped to less than 100 a day because of county programs to reduce the number of youths placed there on an emergency basis. ?13Daily News Increase proposed for brush clearance With fire season nearing, a city panel has recommended that the Los Angeles Fire Department The Los Angeles Fire Department (LAFD), also known as the Los Angeles City Fire Department to distinguish it from the Los Angeles County Fire Department.
