The Street Superintendent requested that he be authorized to
permit Ira E. Escobar, to whom the contract for furnishing the City
of El Segundo with one 1 ton motor chassis with open cab had been

curtains, which are subject to speedy deterioration, the replacement
of which would, in a short time, greatly exceed the difference in
cost of the cabs. It was thereupon moved by Trustee Love, seconded
by Trustee Cannon, that Ira E. Escobar be and he is hereby authorized
to substitute an enclosed oab for the open cab to be furnished with
the one ton motor truck chassis,contract for which was awarded him on
