sary as an emergency measure for preserving the public peace, health
.,
and safety and shall take effect immediately upon its adoption.
A statement of the reasons for its urgency is as follows:
,The forthcoming horse racing meet at Santa Ani.ta Race
Tr~c'W1~lcause an unusually large number of vehicles to be upon
the city streets. The City of Arcadia has expended large sums of
money to complete a traffic control program by the installation
of electric traffic control devices at the intersections of major
traffic arterials leading to and from Santa Anita Race Track. In
order to insure the proper control and expeditious movement of
said vehicular traffic at these mechanically controlled intersec-
tions from the major approach streets, it is necessary to provide
adequate control of parked vehicles along said streets by provid-
ing for the removal from the streets of all vehicles impeding the
safe and expeditious flow of traffic by reason of said vehicles
being parked in violation of Arcadia City regulations.
