said Company's file No. 301.5, referring to a conference had between
the representatives of said Company and 0. Ce Dwy of E1 Segundo

of revenue which might be received from the operation of a bus by said
E1 Segundo Transit Company between E1 Segundo and Hawthorne would be
Inadequate to pay wages and operating expenses, said El Segundo Transit
Company would not be interested in providing such service, therefore

El Segundo- Hawthorne line.
It was thereupon moved by Councilman Krimmel, seconded by Councilman
Binder, that the following resolution be adopted:
RESOLVED, that the City Attorney be and he is hereby
