Carried. In the matter of the application -of the Department of water and Power of the City of Los Angeles for permission to construct, operate and maintain a power line within the City of E1 Segundo, filed with this Council November 27th, 1935, reports were made and action taken as follows: City Engineer Hutchins reported having gone over the proposed route with representatives of the Department of Water and Power; also the routes suggested by the City Council as being preferable; that representatives of said Department were present at this meeting and would explain to the Council why the routes proposed by the said Council were impracticable. Mr. Sweeley, Engineer for said Department, advised that it is impracticable to comply with the Council's request that the line be routed along E1 Segundo Boulevard, inasmuch as a telephone toll line is at present routed along said street and Railroad Commission rulings prohibit the paralleling of such toll lines with power lines. Mr. Stromee of the Right-of-Way and Line .Division of said Department of Water and Power of the City of Los Angeles, advised that in order to cooperate with the Santa Fe Land Company..the routing of its poles over said Company's property would be changed somewhat and he•corrected the map attached to the -original application of said Department to' conform to the proposed new routing,' which would be southerly from Imperial Highway on Northrop Avenue and Northrop Avenue extended-to Mariposa Avenue extended, thence westerly on Mariposa Avenue extended to Sepulveda Boulevard, thence westerly on Mariposa Avenue to Center Street, thence northerly on Center Street to Imperial Highway, thence westerly on Imperial Highway as originally planned. Mr. Stromise submitted for use in connection with said application the letter of Woodruff DeSilva, Assistant Director of Airports, dated November 29th2 1935, addressed to Mr. E. F. Scattergood, Chief Electrical Engineer, and Manager of said Bureau of Water and Power, consenting to the construction of the proposed power line on the South side of Imperial Highway a distance of approximately 2700 feet westerly from Inglewood Redondo Road, thence southerly approximately 2000 feet. Mr. DeSilva was present at the meeting, and orally advised the Council that the pole line route suggested by the Department of Water and Power of the City of Los Angeles.is satisfactory to the Department of Airports of said City and he urged this Councils cooperation and favorable action upon t the petition. City Attorney Woodworth reported that he had conferred with Judge Botorff, a member of the legal staff of said Department of Water and Power, who had advised that in view of certain charter provisions, said Department would not be in position to agree to furnish electrical energy to consumers within the City of E1 Segundo, and further indicated that if energy were furnished in accordiu'ce with said charter provisions, such service might be discontinued at any time. Councilman Gerow stated that he would not consent to the granting of the permit prayed for, as he felt that the line might be constructed entirely within the City limits of the City of Los Angeles surrounding Los Angeles Municipal Airport and yet be sufficiently distant therefrom to afford safety to said Airport. Councilmen Hesser and Selby and Mayor Binder engaged in discussions on the subject, after which it was moved by Councilman Gerow, seconded by Councilman Hesser, that the matter of the petition of the Department of Water and Power of the City of Los Angeles for a permit to construct, operate and maintain a 33,000 volt power line upon streets within the city limits of the City of El Segundo be taken under advisement until such time as said Department shall have . furnished the City Engineer of the City of E1 Segundo a map, which shall have delineated thereon all that portion of the City of Los Angeles adjacent to Los Angeles Municipal Airport, all of the public streets within said area, the locations of its existing pole lines, the pole lines and /or other structures of other agencies- existing.within such area, which it claims or may claim. interfere with the construction df the proposed power line within the City of Los Angeles, together with other information and data perWent to the subject, and said City Engineer of said City of E1 Segundo shall have examined said map and made a survey of the territory and is ready to report his findings with reference thereto to this Council. Carried: With reference to the application of the City of E1 Segundo to the Board of Public Works of the City of Los Angeles for a permit to connect a sewer system of a small area in the easterly portion of the City of El Segundo with the City of Los Angeles sewer system at Los .Angeles'Municipal Airport, reports were made as follows: The City Attorney reported having interviewed Mr. Smith of the Engineering Department of the City of Los Angeles, who advised that while the Board of Public Works had adopted a resolution granting permission to the City of El Segundo to make the sewer connection applied for, that order would never be carried into effect; that the Engineering Department of the City of Los Angeles is dealing with and would deal with the Northrop Corporation with respect to granting said Corporation a permit to connect its own private sewer system with the City of Los Angeles sewer system. The City Engineer reported having interviewed Aessrs. Jay and Gerow of the Northrop Corporation, who indicated-to h3.m that although the Engineering Department of the City of Los Angeles had indicated its willingness to deal with the Northrop Corporation, said Corporation has been unable to make much progress in that connection other than to learn.the initial connection charge and annual rental chage which said Department proposes. Moved by Councilman Hesser, seconded by Councilman Selby, that these reports be accepted as progress reports to date, and the City.Engineer of the City of E1 Segundo be directed to further confer with the Northrop Corporation with reference to the matter and when ready to report the result of his conference to this Council.
