ORAL COMMUNICATIONS.
Mr. Walter Chiaffe, residing at No. 517 Maryland Street, El
Segundo, addressed the Council, stating that a number of months ago he
had approached the City Engineer with respect to opening and improving
Maryland Street across the right of way of Pacific Electric Railway
Company, which right of way presently bisects said street adjacent said
right of way, and he inquired the present status of the proposed project.
City Engineer Lortz requested and received permission to report
thereon and stated that immediately upon receipt of Mr. Chiaffets request,
he had communicated.with Pacific Electric Railway Company to ascertain
what steps would have to be taken by the City of E1 Segundo to acquire
the necessary right of way to make such street crossing at grade and
what costs would be involved; that subsequent to his original request
he has been in communication several times with the representatives of
said Railway Company, which is processing the application to make grade
crossing at Maryland Street, but by reason of the red tape involved and
the multiplicity of agencies which must give consent to such crossing,
progress is very slow.

It was brought out in the discussion that the Pacific Electric
right of way is privately owned by said Company and that its use of the
right of way area is not by reason of license or franchise arrangement,
hence the City cannot expedite the matter beyond the pleasure of said
Railway Company.
Mr. Lortz stated further, however,.that he had talked with a
representative of said Railway Company within the last few days and
anticipates receiving additional information within the next month, and
that when this information is received, he will make his report to the
Council respecting the costs involved and procedures which must be
followed to obtain permission for the crossing from the California Public
Utilities Commission.
At the conclusion of his report, the Mayor requested City
Engineer Lortz to do everything reasonably possible to expedite the
