Councilman Nagel stated that he felt there was room for more than one taxicab service in the City and that the competition might result in better service for the citizens. Councilman Frederick stated that he did not feel there was enough business to support two taxicab companies and he did not feel that what bus- iness there is should be divided.

Director of Public Works Glickman reported that this is an existing line, 6" in diameter which runs from the Shell Oil Company Wilmington re- finery to the Los Angeles International Airport. A County franchise convering this line had expired and the present application requests local jurisdiction permission to continue to use the pipeline.

All constructions within the street rights of way will be inspected by City inspectors and the City staff will review and approve all construction plans.
