Councilman Hesser of the Public forks Committee reported that Mr.
Frank Smith, who resides at Palm Avenue near Sepulveda Boulevard, had
questioned him concerning the street improvement project now under way
in the East acreage under R. P. A. auspices and that he had invited Mr.
Smith to attend the Council meeting, where he might inform the entire
Council of his ideas respecting said work.
Mr. Smith, who was present at the Council meeting, was granted the
privilege.of,addressing the Council and expressed the hope that the
Council would amend its plans and cause a rock and oil improvement to be
made.
The Mayor explained to Mr. Smith that the project now under way
has had approval of W. P. A. officials; that any revision of the present
plans might cause a Iengtby delay in the prosecution and completion of
the work.and that a revision to conform with Mr. Smith's suggestions is
not practicable at this time, for the reason that the-City has no funds
with which to purchase the additional materials which would be required.

to the installation of street lights at the several street intersections
with Sepulveda Boulevard between Imperial Highway and El Segundo Boulevard,
and the Council agreed to investigate the matter and make its decision
at a later date.
