REQUIRED UNDER THE ORDINANCES OF SAID
CITY RELATING TO SUCH MATTERS AND WITH

THEREUNDER; DECLARING SAID ORDINANCE
TO BE AN EMERGENCY ORDINANCE AND PROVID-
ING THAT SAME SHALL THEREFORE TAKE EFFECT
IMMEDIATELY.
The City Council of the City of E1 Segundo,
California, does ordain as follows:
SECTION 1. That notwithstanding any provision
or provisions of any ordinance or ordinances of the City
of E1 Segundo, California, relating to or concerned with
the construction, installation, use, safety and /or sanita-
tion of any building, structure, plumbing, electrical
apparatus, wiring or facilities, or installations, or the
installation or use of gas, when the Building Inspector
of said City finds that a material, manner of construction
or installation, is as safe, acceptable and sanitary for
use as that required by any such ordinance or ordinances,
or any provision or provisions thereof, such material,
manner of construction or installation may be used in lieu
of that required in such ordinance or ordinances.
SECTION 2. That in determining the safety,
acceptability and /or sanitation of any proposed alternative
material, use of material, manner of construction or
1-
and imprisonment, in the discretion of the court. Each
calendar day upon which any such violation continues
shall be deemed a separate offense hereunder.
SECTION 5. For the purposes of this ordinance
the word "person" shall be deemed to include person, firm,
association, copartnership and corporation.
SECTION 6. That this ordinance is an ordinance
affecting the public peace, health, safety and general
welfare and the same shall therefore take effect immediately
upon the final passage and adoption thereof. The facts
constituting its urgency are as follows: The Government
of the United States of America is now at war with the
so- called "Axis Powers ", and as a result thereof, it is
essential that various materials and methods of construc-
tion relating to the building and construction of buildings
and structures and the installation therein of electric
wiring apparatus and appurtenances, and of plumbing and
gas service installations, be curtailed for civilian use
in order that same may be made available in the war effort;
that as a result the use of existing materials and methods
in many instances may be found not only impractical but
impossible and that therefore suitable, safe and acceptable
alternative materials and methods should be provided for in
those cases where such substitution appears proper, reason-
able and necessary. This ordinance provides a remedy for
such situations and conditions.
SECTION 7. That this ordinance shall have the
effect until it is repealed of amending all ordinances
and parts of ordinances of the City of E1 Segundo, Califor-
nia, relating to, or which are concerned with, the subjects
and matters hereinabove referred to, to the extent and only
