and report, First Engineering Aide Lortz reported that the preparation of the
map requested by said Planning Commission will not involve an extensive
survey and no great amount of time will be necessary in its preparation.
It was thereupon moved by Councilman Peterson, seconded by Councilman
Thompson, that the Engineering Department of the City of E1 Segundo be and
it is hereby authorized and directed to prepare, for use of the City
Planning Commission, a map, upon which shall be shown certain information
heretofore gathered by said Commission, in connection with its study of
a Master Plan of Streets and Highways for the City of El Segundo, as
requested in the letter from the City Planning Commission under date of
December 28, 1948. Carried
Mr. Charles E, lc.r z, retorting in the matter of the request of the
City of E1 Segundo mWe to the El Segundo Land and Improvement Company, that
it grant to said City easements for water line purposes over certain portions
of Sections 18 and 19, in the City of El Segundo, stated he had this date
talked with Mre McOray of said Company respecting said matter, that Mr.
McCray had informed him the =rr_ident and several members of the Board of
Directors of said Company were out of the City and were not expected to
return until the early part of February, but that he would contact other
officials of the Company and try to get a tentative answer to Mr. Lort2
on Monday next.
Water Superintendent Lortz reported that the waterline in Center
Street, adjacent to the new elementary school building being constructed
easterly thereof, is, in certain places, exposed and that the maximum
coverage of any portion of said line is 30 inches. He recommended, that
in order to protect said pipe, in event any excavation should in future be
made in said Street, that all of such pipe line be lowered to a depth of
30 inches. He further stated he had asked for quotations from a number
of contracting firms for the doing of such work, and that the lowest bid
he had received was $1.75 per lineal foot from E. A. Ray Plumbing and
Heating Co. Inc., which bid he recommended the Council accept.
Public Works Commissioner Peterson stated he had also made an
investigation of said pipe line and that he concurred in the recommendations
made by the Water Superintendent.
It was thereupon moved by Councilman Peterson, seconded by Councilman
Swanson, the following resolution be adopted.
WHEREAS, there has been presented to this Council
a communication in words and figures as follows-
ItJanuary 11, 1949.
City Council
City of El Segundo
El Segundo, Calif.
Gentlemen.
We propose to lower 611 Cast Iran Water Main on the east
side of Center Street between Mariposa and Maple Street
for a distance of 550 feet, which at the present time
is too close to the surface of the street and should be
lower so as to have 30 inch coverage.
To lower such line, the City of El Segundo Water Depart-
ment would have to put a temporary water line in so as
to supply water to all houses on the west side of Center
Street. Also, disconnect services from main line and
reconnect same when line is lower.
Therefore, we propose to remove such line, which at
present has cement joints, and lower same and use
caulking lead and jute to put joints together for the
sum of One Dollar and seventy-- -five cents ($1.75) per
lineal foot.
Very truly yours,
A., RAY PLiJM.BING & HEATING CO., INC.
