Regular Meeting of the Baldwin Park City Council
Considerable discussion followed relative to Lot 27 being a
sub-standard lot; the matter of access to Lots 37 and 38; the
matter of sidewalks on Durness Street; the matter of a reim-
bursible agreement between the Contractor and the City for the
installation of sewers.
Mr. Albert Egglestone, 7 West Hellman, Alhambra, stated that
all the requirements called for in the Planning Commission
Resolution No, 635 regarding the tentative tract map had been
met with the exception of the 5' easement for sewers, which
will be put on the map, and that the reason for the rush on
this tract is that the escrows on the property are going to
close very shortly and some of the sellers have decided they
may not want to sell, and some may not renew the escrows.
Further discussion ensued wherein Chief Administrative Officer
Asmus clarified the matter of the time element, and the matter
of the existing house on Lot 37 was debated.
Mr. Joe,Brewer, 2645 Risa Drive, Glendale, stated that the
primary reason for leaving the existing houses is that they
offset some of the costs of the subdivision, and that if it
were necessary to tear them down,. the prices would then be
out of line for the lots; that when they don't make money,
they don't stay in a tract.

tive to the economies that~may or may not result from said
consolidation, and
WHEREAS, the Los Angeles County Board of Supervisors'
opinion and recommendation to the State Legislature on this
important question will have considerable weight.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED by the City Council of

sewers, that in the area of Ramona Boulevard, north to Olive,
at least, Including Walnut on the east and City Limits on
the west, interest-in a 1911 Act District has been evinced;
the he had talked with Mr. Lyons of Ivor Lyons & Associates
as to the cost Involved to set up such a district; that In
his particular area they felt that they were living on
borrowed sewer time"; that consideration might be given to
a study being made by this firm, due to their familiarity
with the situation and districts.
Considerable discussion ensued wherein the matter of the con-
tract with J.B. Hanauer & Company was clarified by Chief
Administrative Officer Asmus; wherein It was suggested that
the City Attorney should scrutinize the contract and deter-
mine the obligation of the City.
Mr. M. A. Erhardt, 14405 East Garvey Avenue, Baldwin Park,
questioned if Council were aware of the S.C.R.C. Southern
California Research Committee), which is sponsored by
Pomona College and Occidental College, and whereat specialty
advisors are available, free of charge, for information of
this nature.
Councilman Holmes stated that he was quite familiar with this
organization, however, although they are doing a fine job,
they do not become involved in sewer systems but deal primari-
ly in the economic development.
