The Engineer advised the Council also that Northrop Corporation had objection
to the construction of a pole line adjacent to its property within the City
of E1 Segundo inasmuch as it proposes acquiring lands adjacent to its factory
for landing field purposes and that said engineer had suggested to said Department -
of Water and Power an alternate route which would remove the proposed pole
line a satisfactory distance from the Northrop Corporation property.
Mr. Leo.- A..Stromee of the Right of Way Division of said Department, who
was present at the meeting, stated that the alternate route proposed by the
City Engineer of the City of El Segundo would be considered, but requested
that pending the granting of a permit for the entire line as applied for,
the Council at this time grant permission for the construction of that part
of the line running westerly on the South side of Imperial Highway from
Inglewood- Redondo Road to a point which will enable-said Department to furnish
electrical energy to Los Angeles Municipal Airport.

Water and Power of the City of Los Angeles may construct, maintain and operate
a 339000 volt electrical power and transmission line and necessary appurtenances
across, over, along and upon Imperial Highway from Inglewood- Redondo Road
westerly a distance between 1300 and 1400 feet, with the understanding that at
