Reed, the President of the Trestern Willite Road Construction Company, speaking on behalf "of the California Willite Road Construction Company, advised the Board that he had been authorized by the latter company to address this Board of Trustees this date with reference to repairing Richmond Street between E1 Segundo Avenue and Grand Avenue. He talked at some length, pointing out that the California Willite Road Construction Company underwent a reorganization the first day of January, 1923, and that it is in no way responsible, legally or morally, for road improvements in which the Willite process was used prior to the date above mentioned; that although Richmond Street was improved in September, 1921, the reorganized California Willite Road Construction Company, desiring to uphold the good name of Willite paving and to satisfy the City of E1 Segundo and particularly the property owners on Richmond Street who were assessed for the improvement, would, without expense or cost to the City of El Segundo or any of the property owners therein, tear out the present surface of Richmond Street and relay the same at its own expense, which they estimated would be approximately $7200.00. 1 E At the conclusion of his remarks, Mr. Reed introduced Yr. H. G. Feraud, the 2resident of the California ;:illite F�oad Construction Company, who corroborated the proposition made by Pv.r. Reed, telling the Bop-rd at the same time of extensive road improvements which are being made, in which :',illite paving is being used and informed them also that "►;illite paving in future will be laid only in accordance with specifications prepared by the California - illite Road Construction Company and only under the supervision. of their oven inspectors, thus insuring satisfactory results at all times. The Board of Trustees thanked the gentlemen for their attitude with reference to this matter and consented to the Company starting the repair work at its convenience, I ;s. Arnold Schleuni�-rer addressed the Board with reference to the improvement of Bonita Vista Avenue from i,:aple. Avenue to Colling- wood Street, stating that many of the property owners had contributed the amounts required by the Board, but that there are four property owners who refused to make the necessary contribution, thus delaying the work, He asked if some method could not be devised to force the delinquent owners to pay, so that the much needed improvement might be made. It was then moved by Trustee Rueger, seconded by Trustee Smiley that the City Attorney and the City Engineer be and they are hereby authorized and instructed to confer upon and prepare the necessary data to permit the Boa-rd of Trustees to take proceedings under one of the State road improvement acts for the improvement of those portions of Bonita Vista Avenue between Maple Avenue and Collin wood Street where the property owners have failed to contribute their fro rate. of the cost of such proposed improvement.
