A delegation of citizens from that portion of Los Angeles County lying between - the City of Ll Segundo and the City of Manhattan Beach, which territory is in- cluded within !a Porto Precinct, attended the meeting and several of them addressed the Board, requesting that said territory be annexed to and be made a part of the City of E1 Segundo. Following lengthy discussion, it was decided by general consent of the Board to have a straw vote taken concerning the matter at the next special election to be held within the City of El Segundo and the City Attorney was instructed to prepare a form of ballot for such purpose. Mr. J. F. Fielder made inquiry as to the progress being made in the Sycamore Avenue opening proceedings, stating that he is desirous that the matter be disposed of at as early a date as possible, as he is quite anxious to build a home in E1 Segundo and that the consummation of his desires is contingent upon the decision with respect to his property involved in the hereinbefore mentioned street opening proceedings. He was advised by the Chair that the matter is being prosecuted with all diligence and it was suggested that he have a conference with the Commissioners who have this particular matter in charge. None. REPORTS OF STANDING COMMITTEES. REPORTS OF OFFICERS & SPECIAL COMMITTEES* City Attorney Bloodworth reported that he had discussed the matter of Ordinance No. 320 N. S. of the Board of Supervisors of Los Angeles County, California, re- garding a certain franchise for water mains, etc. to the E1 Segundo Land & Improvement Company prior to the incorporation of the City of Al Segundo, with Mr. Scharff of the office of the County Auditor of Los Angeles Bounty, and also with Mr. Barden and Mr. Fulcher of the office of the County Counsel of said County. Xr. Woodworth stated that it would undoubtedly require a court action to affect any recovery for the City of E1 Segundo under the provisions of said ordinance, and that Mb. Scharff felt that there was not a sufficient amount involved to justify the expanse which would be apparently incident to such an action. Mr. Woodworth stated, that in his opinion, the whole question hinged on whether !r not the Board of Supervisors of Los Angeles County had the legal right to make the reservation set forth in Section 12 of said ordinance. He felt that action at law would be necessary to determine this point. The County Auditor, he stated, based upon statements made by Mr. Scharff, was unwilling to advise any expenditure of County money with reference to the matter, as they did not believe the possibilities of a recovery sufficient to justify the attempt. Mr. Scharff stated, according to the City Attorney, that no moneys had been collected under the said ordinance by the County of Los Angeles and that no attempt would be made by the said County to colleot the same. The Board thereupon discussed the matter fully and decided that it would be better to clear the record by closing the matter and by cancelling the claim if any, as the Board felt the attempt at a possible recovery would be more expensive than the possible remuneration received. The motion was duly made, seconded and carried accordingly. UNFINISHED BUSII XSS.
