SECTION 2. That :section 6 of said Ordinance No. 90 is
hereby amended as hereinabove in Section 1 of this ordinance set
forth.
SECTION 3. That this ordinance is an emergency ordinance
2583
affecting the public peace, health, safety, comfort, convenience and
general welfare and the same shall, therefore, take effect and be
in full force and virtue immediately upon the final adoption thereof.
The facts constituting its urgency are that the hot sum-
mer season is rapidly approaching and large quantities of combustible
rubbish, semi - combustible rubbish and other combustible materials
will be accumulated and will be disposed of, in the main, by burning.
The present regulations of the City are not sufficient to maintain
the necessary control over such burning operations, but with the
regulations and restrictions established by the amendment adopted by
this ordinance, the City Council feels that the necessary controlling
measures will be provided, thereby safeguarding both lives and prop-
erty from fire and the menance of fire. This ordinance is therefore
urgently required.
SECTION 4. That the City Clerk shall certify to the pas-
sage and adoption of this cr dinance by a vote of at least four - fifths
of all of the members of the City Council of said City; shall make
a minute of the passage and adoption thereof in the records of the
proceedings of the City Council of said City in the minutes of the
meeting at which the same is passed and adopted; and shall cause the
same to be published once in the E1 Segundo Herald, a weekly news-
paper of general circulation published and circulated within said
City, and which is hereby designated for that purpose.
Passed, approved and adopted this 20th day of June,
1951. —
