the said application, No one desired to be heard.
The City Manager then stated that the proposed business is to be

will form a corporation if this venture shows any sign of
success; that the method of operation will be to pass out

recommendation of the City Manager and deny the granting of a
permit to the applicant, However, prior to the motion being
seconded, Mr, Alfred Davenport, 908 South Atlantic Boulevard,
Montebello, addressed the Council, stating that he had been
unavoidably detained; that he represented Curb Light Numbering

brochures advising citizens as to the service and the cost;
that after painting of curbs is complete they will then go
from house to house to collect and that payment is voluntary.
Also that the paint proposed to be used is of very durable
quality; that it will contain an ingredient making it visible
in the dark and also an ingredient helpful to the police
department on Code 2 calls which makes the number visible under
infrared light.
Councilman Camphouse stated that although he had made the motion
to deny the application, after listening to Mr, Davenport he
thought the venture has merit and suggested that it might be
worked out if it was done in conjunction with youth organizations.
He suggested that the applicant get in touch with these youth
organizations and attempt to work out the matter with them on that
basis.

Councilman Reibold commented that he was reluctant to permit any
type of operation wherein collections are made on a voluntary
basis after the service has been performed, in which opinion
Councilman Phillips concurred,
Mayor Dennis advised Mr. Davenport that although it appeared that
the sentiment of the Council was against granting the application,
that Councilman Camphouse's suggestion was worthy of consider-
ation and that the applicant attempt to work out the situation
as a joint venture incorporating charitable operations therein,
Mr. Davenport said he would try this.
Councilman Reibold then seconded the motion and it was denied
without prejudice on the part of the Council on roll call vote
as follows:

Mayor Dennis declared the hearing open on the, application of
Dean R. Johnson and Laurence Gonzales, doing business as
Wistaria Cab Co., 14 North Baldwin Avenue, Sierra Madre, for
permission to conduct a taxi service of three automobiles in the
City of Arcadia,
The City Manager advised that he had a report to the effect that
the applicants were known to be financially delinquent at times
in paying their bills and rent; that they had three accidents in
the City of Arcadia, one in 1950, one in 1952 and one in 1957.
He also stated that Arcadia has 32 licensed cabs at this time,
The City Clerk stated that she had received no communications.
Mayor Dennis, inquired if there was anyone in the audience desir-
ing to speak in favor of the application.
1
Mr, Dean R. Johnson, one of the applicants, addressed the Council,
stating that the application was made because the City's license
Department had requested they do so; that his company had made
pick-ups in Arcadia but received their calls from Sierra Madre;
that they brought their passengers to Arcadia and then'later
picked them up in Arcadia and returned them to Sierrk Madre.
Councilman Camphouse intervened by declaring that if .that was
all they did they would not need an Arcadia license; that a
license is necessary only for pick-ups made in Arcadia. The
City Manager said that was correct, but that the applicants had been
making pick-ups in Arcadia for quite some time. Mr. Johnson
stated that he had been picking up school children in Arcadia
but was not doing so presently.
Mayor Dennis then inquired if anyone in the audience wished to
speak in opposition to the application,

Mr, Wm. N. Bowie, Jr., representing Mr, Lemoyne Bailey, owner
of the Arcadia-Monrovia Valley Cab Company on 1st Avenue, in
Arcadia, addressed the Council, stating he had written to the
City Manager; that he had nothing to add to the points stated in
said communication ,except that he wondered if the Police Depart-
ment' had made inquiry as to whether or not the Wistaria cabs
proposed to be licensed in this City are equipped with taxi-
meters, and if so, if the taximeters are charging rates in
accordance with the City ordinance prescribing the rates to be
charged; that his information is to the effect that these cabs
will not comply with the fare provisions of the ordinance, The
City Manager then stated that if these cabs are licensed in this
City they will have to comply with the local ordinance, Mr,
Bowie also commented that a publication entitled "American Taxi-
cab Association" stated that statistics prove one cab to
approximately five thousand population adequately services the
population and 'reminded the Council that the City Manager had
indicated that 32 cabs are presently licensed to service Arcadia;
that as indicated in his letter, the spirit of the ordinance is
to preserve the right of those who have heretofore become
licensed to earn a fair return on their investment,
Councilman Camphouse inquired if the applicant is granted a
license must it comply with the meter law, to which the City
Manager replied that it must comply with the City Ordinance;
that it must charge rates no greater than set forth in said
ordinance.
Upon Mr. Johnson stating he was not familiar with the City
Ordinance regarding taxicabs Councilman Camphouse moved that this
hearing be continued to the next regular meeting March 18, 1958
to enable the applicants to acquaint themselves with the City
Ordinance. Councilman Reibold seconded the motion and it was
carried unanimously.
Councilman Phillips commented that the first sentence in the
application signed by the applicants states: "I/We do hereby'
make application for a permit to conduct a business in the City
of Arcadia pursuant to the provisions of Ordinance No. 737" which
called their attention to the fact that there is an Ordinance.
Mayor Dennis then informed Mr, Johnson that the Council had moved
that the hearing be continued to March 18, 1958 and suggested
that he contact the City Attorney for a copy of the Ordinance.
Mayor Dennis declared open the hearing on the assessments for the
construction of curbs and gutters on the north side of Camino
Real Avenue, east of El Monte Avenue.
The City Engineer announced that a communication had been
received from the Los Angeles County Flood Control District
protesting part of the proposed assessment in that the District
owns fee title to some 130.90 feet along the northerly side of
Camino Real Avenue, of which some 72.93 feet of frontage is with-
in the permanent right of way for the Arcadia Wash, and the
remaining strip of some 57.97 feet is the frontage of a District
owned triangle of non-operative property; that the assessment
represents charges for 93,00 lineal feet of curb and that the
District is being assessed for some 20.07 feet of curbing within
the permanent operative right of way for the Arcadia Wash, That
the District believes the 57,97 feet of curbing along the front-
age of the District's non-operative property to be a proper
assessment and an obligation of the District since it enhances
the value of the affected parcel, but that it considers those
portions of the curbing within the operative right of way to be
of no benefit to this portion of its holding and in the same
category as other improvements of general public benefit such as
street intersections and not chargeable to this District; and
that in accordance with Section 3 of the assessment notice, the
District protests any assessment except that normally chargeable
to the 57,97 feet.

The City Attorney, in reply to Councilman Phillips' query as to
whether the District has a right to protest, stated that any
person proposed to be assessed has the right to protest the
manner in which the work is performed, the spreading of the
assessment, including the fact that he is assessed at all; that
Councilman Phillips' question concerning the right to protest
is a matter of judgment as to whether the full assessment should
be levied against the District in that the District does con-
cede that the assessment on the non-operative property is a
proper charge but questions the propriety of the assessment on
its property on the basis that it, as a governmental agency,
receives no precise benefit but is rather a benefit to the area
as a whole. That Council, however, has the legal right to over-
rule any protest if it deems it to be without merit. The City
Engineer added that the assessment of the portion the District
protests amounts to approximately $84,00.
1
Mayor Dennis inquired if anyone in the audience desired to speak
in opposition to the proposed assessment.
Mr, Herman A, Niederwerfer, 165 West Camino Real Avenue,
addressed the Council, protesting the assessment notice he had
received; that he had been assured he would not be assessed
because he had constructed his own curbs and had been promised
a letter from the Engineering Department verifying the fact, but
that he had not received said letter.
The City Engineer answered to the effect that all property is
posted whether there is an assessment due or not; that a letter
to that effect will be sent to him just as soon as the Council
passes upon the assessment.
Mayor Dennis then asked if anyone wished to speak in favor of
the assessment. No one desiring to speak Councilman Phillips
moved that the hearing be closed,
The City Attorney stated that prior to closing the hearing he
wished to advise that under the 1957 amendment to the 1911 Act
it is now possible to prorate an assessment over a period of
years not exceeding ten in number; that prior to that amendment
the entire amount was due and payable forthwith, and if not paid
then it becomes a lien on the property and was collectible in
full with the first installment of taxes next ensuing; that if
prorated then interest of no more than 6% can be added, and is
handled as an abatement receivable by the City until such time
as it is paid and returned to the City; that no penalty
incurred if the assessment is paid off prior to the set humber of
years; and suggested that the hearing be continued for the purpose
of preparing and submitting to the Council a proper resolution
to that effect,
Councilman Phillips stated that he withdrew his motion to close 1
the hearing and moved that the hearing be continued to March 18,
1958 for the purpose of permitting the City Attorney to prepare
and submit to the Council a resolution to the effect that for
those that wish to spread payments this can be done over a period
of five years from the present tax year, payments to be made in
five annual installments of one-fifth each, the unpaid balance to
bear interest at the rate of 6% per annum.
Councilman Jacobi seconded the motion and it was carried on roll

The City Attorney then advised that the next item to be clarified
is the disposition of the approximate sum of $84.00 with respect
to which protest Was made by the Los Angeles County Flood Control
District, because as a governmental agency it receives no direct
benefits from the improvement of its operating property by
construction of curbs and gutters.
Councilman Phillips moved that the Council sustain the protest
of the Los Angeles County Flood Control District with respect to
the proposed assessment on 35.03 feet of operating property and
overrule the protest as to the balance, and instruct the City
Engineer to modify his report accordingly, and that the City pay
the proposed assessment of $73.15 out of the Council Contingency
Fund.
Councilman Jacobi seconded the motion and it was carried on roll
call vote as follows:
AYES: Councilmen Camphouse, Jacobi, Phillips, Reibold and Dennis
NOES: None
ABSENT: None
The City Attorney suggested that the next step should be to
instruct the City Attorney to prepare a resolution prorating the
payments over a period not to exceed five years. '
Councilman Phillips moved that the City Attorney prepare such
resolution as per his suggestion and that the hearing be
continued to March 18, 1958 for the purpose of confirming the
assessments under consideration and for the adoption of the said
resolution on proration of payments and confirming the modified
assessments. Councilman Camphouse seconded the motion and it was
carried unanimously. ,
The City Attorney suggested that the City Engineer be instructed
to advise Mr. Niederwerfer that under the Engineer's report as
submitted there will be no assessment on his property, and
that he will be so notified upon final action of the Council
after its next meeting.
Mayor Dennis declared open the hearing on the proposed program of
the 'removal of weeds, refuse and dirt for the year 1958 from
property in the City of Arcadia. He inquired if there were any
communications received on the subject, Whereupon the City Clerk
read a communication delivered to her by Mr. G. M, Herringshaw,
2003 South Sixth Avenue, which stated in substance that he pro-
tested the posting of a notice on his property to the effect that
said weeds, etc. were to be removed and that he would be present
in person at the Council meeting of March 4, 1958.
Mr, Herringshaw then addressed the Council, protesting the post-
ing of said notice on his property; that this had never been done
before and that he had always personally removed all weeds from
his property, '
The City Attorney explained to him that these proceedings are
conducted under the State Law known as the "Weed Abatement Act",
declaring all weeds and refuse on parkways, public streets and
private property to be a nuisance; that the City of Arcadia holds
a hearing to determine the necessity of proceeding with a weed
abatement program and to permit any person to be heard on the
subject; that at the conclusion of the hearing the Council then
has the option of abandoning the proceedings or overruling any

protest and proceeding to abate by physical removal of any weeds
and the like that are found to exist on properties; that after
that determination a contract is usually awarded to a private
contractor, as an agent of the City, to remove those various
weeds throughout the City; that at any time prior to the advent
of the weed clearing crew the property owner himself may remove
the weeds from his property; that if no weeds are on the property
then they do no work and there is no charge levied upon the
property.
Mayor Dennis inquired if anyone else wished to speak either in
protest or in favor of the proposed weed abatement program. No
one appearing, Councilman Reibold moved that the hearing be
closed. Councilman Jacobi seconded the motion and it was
carried unanimously,

Councilman Reibold then moved that Council declare all protests
overruled and that the Superintendent of Public Works proceed
with the weed abatement program in accordance with the provisions
of the Weed Abatement Act, Councilman Jacobi seconded the motion

The City Clerk read a cODDllUnication from Paul H. Desbrow, 1018
Encanto Drive, requesting that no tree be planted in front of
his residence, suggesting the money be used on Arcadia's School
System, adding that he ~id not think there is any need to spend
City Funds on beatifying the most expensive neighborhood in the
City of Arcadia.
A general discussion ensued, wherein Councilman Phillips stated
that he did not think the City should plant trees where the
resident did not want a tree; Mayor Dennis suggested writing to
the Santa Anita Rancho Association and get its opinion, to
which Councilman Reibold stated that he did not approve of this
suggestion because it would give the Association authority with the
City retaining the responsibility, and that authority and responsibility
cannot be separated. After due deliberation, however, it was the
consensus of the Council that the City Engineer be instructed to
proceed with the tree planting program, and Mayor Dennis so moved.

to operate, from her said residence, located in a C-2 Zone, a
real estate business to be known as Yates Realty, for a period
of one year, until such time as a building is constructed for
such purpose.
T~e City Engineer advised that a report from the Fire Chief,
City Engineer and Chief Building Inspector recommended that the
request be denied for the reason that the requested use would
become non-conforming in relation to the fire zones; that the
building is already structurally non-confOrming in relation to
the business zone; that the Council should make the determin-
ation whether this dwelling should be used for a single purpose
of a realty office or a dual purpose of a real estate office and
a dwelling. That if, in the opinion of the City Council, this
use is granted, then it is felt that the following recommend-
ations would be in order:
1. T~at some provision be made for parking from the Foothill
Boulevard side.
2, That any signboards or advertising on the premises be in
strict oonformance to the local ordinances.
3. That the converted dwelling unit in the garage be abated.

AUDIENCE PARTICIPATION

Jackson)
7.J'I1
Mr, John L, Jackson, 112 West Forest, addressed the Council as
a representative of the Foothill Area Taxpayers LeagUe, regard-
ing the proposed Foothill Freeway routes. He stated that at his
appearance before the Council on February 18, 1958 he had been
advised that any decision the Council might make in this con-
nection would be deferred until after the Area meeting called by
the State Division of Highways in Azusa on February 27, 1958,
Mr. Jackson then read a report prepared on behalf of said
Foothill Area Taxpayers League wherein it demanded that the
Council go on record as preferring the Southerly Route through
the City for the reasons heretofore stated by said League; and
also wherein it demanded that the Council request of the
Division of Highways a public hearing in this City.
1
A general discussion ensued, wherein the Council questioned Mr.
Jackson as to the procedure used to obtain the signatures of
petitioners; whether the members of the League paid dues, as
to the legal status of the League; how many of the petitioners
were property owners, taxpayers, or registered voters,'etc,
Mr, Jackson then maintained that no evidence had been presented
at the Azusa meeting as to the cost estimates for the three
routes; whereupon the City Engineer read figures he had secured
at said meeting establishing the preferred route as several
million dollars less costly and more valuable from user
standpoint; and to Mr. Jackson's stand that the State did not
take into account the expense of demolition, the City Engineer

pointed out that the State 'estimated all possible expense and
that the southern route involved more parcels of land.
Mayor Dennis then advised Mr. Jackson that the League's demand
was on record and that Council would consider its demand for a'
public hearing.
Mr. Alvin J. Lenz, 504 Magellan Road, addressed the Council,
stating that from the proposed freeway routes maps he had
examined it appeared that the preferred route was going to cut
through the Hugo Reid School, The City Engineer advised that
the boundaries of the proposed freeway do not touch any school
grounds in Arcadia,
Mr, Ralph Norton, 20 E, Camino Real, inquired of the Council as
to whether it had studied the findings of Equestrian Trails;
whether it had heard from County Supervisor Herbert C, Legg;
whether it had arranged for a representative of the Council to
meet with Equestrian Trails on an informal basis; also he
advised the Council that another hearing with Supervisor Legg
had been granted to take place in a couple of weeks.
Mayor Dennis informed Mr, Norton that the Council had received
communications from Supervisors Hahn and Legg regarding the
trail and gave Mr. Norton a copy of the communication (original
being on file in the office of the City Clerk). He then
appointed Councilmen Phillips and Jacobi to meet with the Corral
No, 14 leaders of Equestrian Trails, at a time convenient to all.

elevated structure behind the backstop which might be used for
storage, announcing, score keeping, press box, etc" and that it
strongly opposes the erection of any permanent or temporary

outfield along the third base line, as well as any permanent
outfield fence. Said communication was acknowledged by the
Council.
The City Manager read a communication from the Director of

The 'City Manag~r added that the above recommendation covers
every item the Little League' requested with the exception that
the drinking fountains at two ,locations near gates in park
fence for players and spectators were estimated to use pipe to
be connected to the nearby sprinkler system at an approximate
cost of $50.00 but that this is not feasible and the additional
cost for such installation is approximately $450,00,
Recommendation of the City Manager that the City Council approve
the request of the Recreation Commission and that funds be
provided from Council,Contingency Fund,
Councilman Reibold asked if the amount unused on the Longden
Well site was put back in the Council Contingency Fund, and if
so, he moved that the recommendation of the City Manager be
accepted and that the sum of $1,150.00 be appropriated for
the purposes outlined above from Council Contingency Fund.

extension of the time limit on his contract to E. E. Jensen,
the' contractor for the landscaping of Santa Anita Avenue, between
Orange Grove Avenue and Foothill Boulevard, He added that the
extension is made necessary because of the heavy rains and
delays encountered and in having the State Division of Highways
relocate a traffic signal and certain necessary utility pole re-
locations.

Councilman Camphouse moved that the Council accept the reco~
mendation of the City Engineer and that a 30-day extension of
the time limit on the contract be granted E. E. Jensen,
contract for the landscaping of Santa Anita Avenue, between
Orange Grove Avenue and Foothill Boulevard. Councilman Reibold
seconded the motion and it was carried unanimously.
City Attorney Nicklin reported on his attendance at the hearing
of the Senate Interim Committee on Business and Professions on
the subject of tip sheets; that he felt his attendance worth
while, in that, as he suspected, the Committee considered not
only Assembly Bill 2060, which had passed the Assembly and been
referred to the Senate Committee but also considered Assembly
Bill 2061, which had been defeated in the Assembly and had not
been referred to the Senate Committee.
He added that tip sheet operators were represented and very
subtly urged state regulation of the subject matter, doubtless
feeling that if the state took over control, local control would
cease and there would be less control at state level than there 1
presently is at local level. That his presentation urged them
to make certain in any legislation they recommended, if they
found state regulation necessary, it have an express proviso
permitting further local regulation over and above what the
state had imposed. That the committee closed the hearing after
receiving large quantities of testimony and exhibits and will
make its recommendation probably at the next regular session;
and that he predicted the outcome of the hearing will not be
unfavorable to the City's position.
Mr. Ben L. Mattingly, Vice presidenti of the Santa Anita League,
inquired of the Council if it was clearly understood that
Council's action was on the second communication read by the
City Manager, to wit, the communication regarding the reco~

County-City services.
Councilman Reibold reported that as Council's representative,
along with a committee composed of three members of the Planning
Commission, they had met to review the difficulties being
experienced with Ordinance No. 990; that as a result of the
meetings the staff has been making a study of the number of lots
that might be involved under the conditions outlined by the
opponents of Ordinance No, 990, and that he hoped the material
will be available for presentation at the next regular
Council meeting,
Motion by Mayor Dennis, seconded by Councilman Jacobi and
'carried unanimously that the meeting adjourn.
