To the -
Honorable City Council
of the
City of E1 Segundo, California
Gentlemen:
In June 1942 our Company sold a portion of the SEA of the NE /4 of Sec, 7
to meet the needs of Douglas Aircraft Company for expansion of its manufactur-
ing facilities. Title was conveyed to Defense Plant Corporation, the govern-
mental agency which financed the expansion program. However, all of the nego-
tiations with us were handled by Douglas Aircraft Company.
Agreeable with an understanding, our deed conveying the property contained
a proviso reserving unto Santa Fe land Improvement Company the right to in-
clude in an easement to the City of E1 Segundo the west 75 feet of the land,
for public street purposes. We agreeing to donate an additional 75 feet of
width out of our adjoining land, so as to provide for dedication of this
southerly continuation of Douglas St., 150 feet wide.
This section of the street down to the quarter section line was thereupon
constructed and extensively paved, at no cost to us, nor to the City.
Upon completion of that work and in harmony with the above mentioned under-
standing, in October 1942 our Company submitted to you an easement for the
street extension. It developed that the only thing standing in the way of
acceptance by your Honorable Body was the presence of gates which were being
maintained by Douglas Aircraft Company, in accordance with security regulations
then in effect, access on the part of the public being restricted thereby.
However, such regulations have long since been relaxed, the gates have been
removed and the thoroughfare opened to normal use by the public.
We therefore respectfully resubmit for acceptance by your Honorable Body an
easement covering this hitherto undedicated portion of the street, full 150
feet in width, southerly to the quarter section line (our south property line).
Similar easements heretofore given to the City by us account for the exist-
ing public street northerly to Imperial Highway.

The 8 inch cast iron water main and appurtenances, for which we gave the City
a bill of sale in 1942, extends northerly throughout the full length of the por-
tion of the street covered by the enclosed easement.
Coincident with acceptance of the easement, Southern California Edison Com-
pany's license for the electric power line along west side of the street, will
be terminated by notice from us and the matter from then on will be between the
Edison Company and the City of E1 Segundo.
We have sold to North American Aviation, Inc., just lately, a large area
along west side of the street, part of the frontage being on the southerly ex-
tension covered by the enclosed easement. It is to be the site of North Ameri-
cants central materiel depot and that company has under construction its steel
frame warehouse buildings. The North American people have told us that it is
vital to them that the full length of their property have street frontage on a
street of record.
Inquiries in connection with the balance of our frontage, south of the North
American parcel, lead us to expect that before very long one or more industries
will be located there. We are very optimistic about the future of this industrial
area and our people are active in seeking to locate reputable and substantial
industrial concerns that will be a credit to the City of E1 Segundo.
We respectfully solicit your favorable consideration and trust the enclosed
easement will be found in satisfactory form.
Yours very truly,
SANTA FE
IMPROVEMENT COMPANY
