Gordon, Associate Council, which indicated that nothing could be done in the City's behalf. Mr. Asmus said when he received the letter he would have copies made for each Councilman. Discussion followed and the matter will be brought back on the Agenda at the proposed adjourned meeting on July 15, 1959. With reference to the 5/8 Gas Tax Money, Project #3, Unit 2, El Monte Avenue Bridge, Chief Administrative Officer Asmus reported that It was necessary for City Engineer Young to turn in a final report by July 15, 1959 on the El Monte Avenue Bridge over the Big Dalton Wash. Mr. Asmus explained that City Engineer Young advised that under the 5/8 Gas Tax Agreement for the fiscal year 57-58, $40,000.00 was requested for bridges at Francisquito and Walnut Creek Wash and El Monte and Big Dalton Wash. $26,000.00 paid for Francis- quito Bridge; $14,000.00 remains for construction of El Monte Avenue Bridge. Because of changes made In bridges at request of City, the State Highway Division suggests that the City ab- sorb $726.76 paid out of General Funds, then $14,000.00 allo- cated as part of this project will be released.
