By general consent of the Board the Street Superintendent was permitted to accede to this request. Trustee Anderson advised the Board that owing to the maintenance of a rubbish dump by the City of El Segundo in the Northwesterly section of the City, small pieces of broken glass and other small pieces of refuse have accumulated through being dropped from time to time on West Collingwood Street west of Bonita Vista Avenue, making it impractical to drive automobiles thereon, and suggested that said roadway be made passable.

No further business appearing to be transacted at this meeting, it was moved by Trustee Gerow, seconded by Trustee Cannon, that the meeting adjourn. Carried. approve . President, Board of Trustees.
