fact that all surrounding cities are likewise suffering from a curtailment of
medical services due to the requirements of the military under war conditions;
that the Council is giving serious consideration to the problem and doing its

Public Safety Commissioner 'Hiesser reported that Councilman Skelley had
rea_unsted him to investinate the desirability of installing traffic stop signs
t- Center Street and i�:ariposa Avenue, for the purpose of reducing motor vehicle
speeds on both streets, which 1.1r. Skelley stated are excessive; that thereafter
he had referred the matter to Chief of Police Hutchins and Captain Cummings
of the Police Denartr!ent, requesting that they check and make recommendations
accordingly.
The Chief of Police reported that he is not ,ready to make his recommendation
at tIAs tire, but would do so in the near future.
7 -ublic Safety Commissioner iliesser reported also that he had received com-
nlaints concerning a hedge located adjacent to the alley east of•Loma Vista
Stre9t, at its intersection with Grand Avenue, which obstructs the view of
motorists entering Grand Avenue from said alley; that he had discussed .--ith the
o-rrner cf the nroaerty or which. the hedge is located the matter of trimming the
same; that the o� ^ner does not possess the recuisite tools.
after discussion, it was recommended that Councilman lesser aFair. confer
',:-ith the owner of the property and encourage him to borrow the necessary tools
so t: at the .edge may be trimmed at an early date a.nd the allef-ed existing
traffic hazard be thus removed.
Public ';orks Commissioner Peterson informed the Council that army posts
located in areas outside of the City of El Segundo have been disposing of
Farbage, cans and other refuse without permission at El Segundo's can dump, and
that in viev,, of the lighted area and the limited man ,power to control .911th
dumping, even if it ^ *ere permitted, the City of El Segundo is being unduly
imn_osed upon and he felt that stens should be taken to cause the practice to
be iscontinued.

Cour_cilmar Hesser, that the following resolution be adopted:
=iZE , , this Council, upon its own independent
investigation, has determined that the dumping of rubbish
and refuse in the City of E1 SeFundo from outside areas
