Chief of Police Hutchins reported having-had a conversation with
Captain Parker of the Los Angeles Police Department and Ralph T. Dorsey, Traffic
Engineer of said Department, relative to the closing of Coast Boulevard during
Q 155
the hours of darkness; that a Sergeant Galpay had called on him this date,
and advised that the City of Los Angeles would close said road during the
hours of darkness if the City -of E1 Segundo would consent to the closing.of
its portion of the road; that the City of Los Angeles did not care to declare
this merely a dim -out area, owing to the hazards created by the curve on said
road over the hill; that Sergeant Galpay desired to know if, owing to the
distance to be traveled by members of the Los Angeles Police Department in
putting up barricades and necessary lanterns, the City of E1 Segundo would
assume the responsibility of taking care of same. Mr. Hutchins stated that
inasmuch as the City of 'E1 Segundo Police Department would have to put up
and take down barricades, signs, lanterns, etc. at 45th Street and Coast
Boulevard, he saw no reason why it could not take care of the barricades,
etc.. on the Los Angeles City portion of said Boulevard, if the City of Los
Angeles would furnish the necessary equipment.
The'City Council agreed that it would be advantageous to close said
Road entirely during the hours of darkness, and on suggestion of Councilman
Hesser, the Chief of Police was directed to ascertain if red lamps could not
be used instead of lanterns, such lamps to be hooked up to the electric
circuit of Southern California Edison Company, and the Chief of Police agreed
to contact said Edison Company relative to the matter.
