follows:
1. That he had received two letters from the Health
Department of the County of Los Angeles with reference
to the construction of sanitary sewers, one in a portion
of California Street and one in a portion of East Sycamore
Avenue, which letters recommended that such sanitary
sewers be installed at the earliest possible time;'that
subject to the Council's approval, he will proceed with
the preparation of plans and specifications covering the
installation of such sewers, and by general consent he
was so directed.

vard between Sepulveda Boulevard and Aviation Boulevard
and the form of revocable permit heretofore presented to

abutting said companyts property on the south, he had had a
further conference with Mr. Mayhew of said Douglas Aircraft
Company, Inc.,-who had submitted to him a proposition in
connection with such widening, which proposition he had re-
ferred to the City Attorney for his opinion thereof.
The City Attorney thereupon explained to the Council
that Douglas Aircraft Company, Inc., is willing to pay its
share of the cost of the widening and improving of said E1
Segundo Boulevard, but desires to obtain reimbursement
therefor from the United States Government, which reimburse-
ment the Government will not make if an easement for widen-
ing is presented to and accepted by.the City prior to such
improvement; that the United States Government, through the
Navy Department, will make such reimbursement if a re-
vocable easement covering the property necessary to be
acquired by the City for the widening of said E1 Segundo
Boulevard abutting Douglas Aircraft Company, Inc., on the
south is deposited with the City Clerk and not accepted by
the City until after the work is completed.
Mr. Short thereafter stated an alternate plan might be
worked out whereby the City would let a contract for the
improvement of E1 Segundo Boulevard from Sepulveda Boulevard
easterly to the westerly line of Douglas Aircraft property,
and that thereafter Douglas Aircraft Company, Inc., might
employ the same contractor to construct the improvement
upon that portion of said companyts property which would be
needed in the widening of said boulevard.
The latter plan appearing to be the more desirable,
by general consent the Director of Public Works was requested
to contact representatives of Douglas Aircraft Company,Inc.,
and ascertain said companyts attitude with respect to such
method of improvement.

Councilman Thompson, the City's representative on the Recrea-
tion Commission, stated that as a result of a recent water polo
meet held in the City of E1 Segundo, the E1 Segundo Swim Club

to be held at Buenos Airos, Argentina; that it was necessary to
raise funds to defray the expense of transporting said E1 Segundo
team to Buenos Aires and return, and that at a meeting of the
Recreation Commission held on Monday evening, February 5th, said
Commission had appointed a committee, of which Mr. John Hapke
is Chairman, to be responsible for the raising of and expenditure
of the necessary funds. Councilman Thompson recommended that

I
AND, WHEREAS, there has now been presented to
theCity of E1 Segundo an opportunity to be favorably
publicized on a worldwide basis;

to the fact that the E1 Segundo Swim Club `dater Polo

clusive, 1951;

zations, and representative tax payers;
19VII
U 206
Third: That this
Council feels that under the circumstances the ex-
penditure hereinafter provided for is in the public
