Mr. Richard K. Knowlton, Attorney, representing the Santa Fe
Railway, 121 East Sixth Street, Los Angeles, California, thanked
Council for permitting him to present their side of the story
te1eV.anf to the M61tgLe-it with Western Pacific Railway. He stated
that there are three railroads serving industry and other in-
terests on the West Coast, being I) Santa Fe 2) Southern
Pacific 3) Great Northern-Northern Pacific; that, last October
Southern Pacific filed an application to take over Western
Pacific Railway, which action, in his estimation, would turn
back the clock some 60 years, at which time Southern Pacific
was a monopoly, controlling every carload of freight moving
to California industry and that moved from California agri-
culture; that, under this merger, the controlling railway
would have the power to set rates, determine practices, make
available such cars as it will and have a strangle hold" on
the majority of freight which is still rail bound; that the
Western Pacific is fighting for survival and the Santa Fe is
fighting to remain a West Coast carrier instead of terminating
in Southern California on an east-west route: that the items
offered by the Santa Fe are: continued expansion to competitive
rail service, lower rates that evolve from competition, expediter
service which competes with the trucks piggy-back" service which
the Western Pacific originated, further dieselization which both
the Western Pacific and Santa Fe originated, the maintenance of
the status quo" instead of a reversion to a Southern Pacific
monopoly.
Discussion followed wherein Mr. Knowlton stated that hearings
will be commenced on July 17, 1961 and concluded approximately
six weeks to three months thereafter.

taining to truck travel, in that a large trailer, such as
house trailers, are not self-propelled, and therefore are
hauled by trucks, thereby coming under the statute governing
truck travel.
Mr. B. Immordino, Trim Products Company, 14816 E. Ramona Blvd.
Baldwin Park, questioned how customers can come into Baldwin
Park to do business if there is no truck route open to them
and stated that they had lost $10-15,000.00 this month because
truckers refuse to come into the City. He also took issue over
the 6,000 lb. weight limit and stated that a north-south truck
route in Baldwin Park was a must".
City Clerk Balkus, from an earlier conversation with C. H.
Gleason, owner of Trim Products Company, clarified the comments
of Mr. Immordino, in that the company, Trim Products, brings
into the City about three-quarters of a million dollars, and
their trucks empty, weigh 7,500-10,000 lbs. and loaded weigh
15-20,000 lbs) could be prohibited the use of City streets
due to the weight limit ordinance.
Mr. Ray 0. Walker, 3202 North Puente, Baldwin Park, spoke in
behalf of the ordinance, stating that this ordinance was in
line with other cities progressing business-wise.
Mrs. Ellyn Baldwin, 13170 Francisquito, Baldwin Park, ques-
tioned if the proposed ordinance, as previously discussed by
the City Attorney, would put the trucks back onto Francis-
quito.
City Attorney Saunders explained that the proposed changes
were in form only, not in route.
COUNCILMAN LITTLEJOHN MOVED THAT THE PROPOSED NEW ORDINANCE
BE READ IN FULL. MOTION DIED FOR LACK OF A SECOND.
City Attorney Saunders explained that the proposed new ordi-
nance was not ready for discussion tonight.
Discussion continued with Chief Administrative Officer Asmus
and City Engineer Young offering further clarification.
Mrs. William,E. Basham, 4829 North Azusa Canyon Road, Baldwin
Park, expressed thanks to the resident owners of Azusa Canyon
Road for the privilege of speaking for them in protesting the
use of this raod for heavy routing of trucks, and read a poem
entitled Let's Build it Better", which reflected suggestions
as to the betterment of Baldwin Park.
Mayor Cole explained that the City of Baldwin Park has no
jurisdiction whatever on Azusa Canyon Road, and that the
original zoning was at the solicitation of the property
owners at that time.
Mrs. Barbara Hancock, 3445 North Remey, Baldwin Park, stated
that the primary objection to trucks being routed on Francis-
quito was due to the danger to the school children and not
because of the noise, and that-the necessity for a truck
route was understandable and suggested an on and off ramp
from Rivergrade Road on Ramona Boulevard.
Mr. Michael Dargus, 13260 East, Francisquito, Baldwin Park,
questioned regarding the posting of Baldwin Park Boulevard
and why nothing has, as yet, been done relevant to the
Francisquito and Ramona Blvd. intersection. He expressed
concern over the fact that the children would be attending
the new school this fall without benefit of sidewalks or
curbs to walk upon.

Í«Regular Meeting of the Baldwin Park City Council
Mr. Lawrence Martin, 972 Stichman, La Puente, stated that he
has been In the trucking business for122 years and questioned
whether Baldwin Park Boulevard was in the County'.gr City. He
also stated that it takes longer to travel other routes and
that the truckers pay more in taxes than car owners, yet are
not permitted in certain areas.
Councilman Holmes offered a point of information for the bene-
fit of Mr. Martin as to the length of time Baldwin Park Blvd.
has been used for truck travel.
Mrs. Harold McKay, 13116 Franclaquito, Baldwin Park, stated
that she did not object to the trucks, as such, but was con-
cerned over the safety of her daughters in going to and from
school, in that there are no sidewalks for them to walk upon.
Mr. H. R. Stoke, 1215 Oak Lawn Road, Arcadia, representative
of the Southern California Rock Products Association, stated
that they, too, are concerned about the matter of.truck traffic,
not only in the City of Baldwin Park, but also in other neigh-
boringacities. He further stated that an east-west, north-south
route must be supplied the truckers,'and cited cases as ex-
amples. He requestdd the full conslderation'of Council, and
reminded them of theft responsibility in complying with State
laws.
Discussion followed wherein Councilman Holmes offered clari-
fication on the origination and use of Rivergrade Road. Mr.
Stoke stated'that their concern was the area south of Baldwin
Park and took issue regarding the directive content of the
ordinance under discussion in that it was his opinion said
ordinance was in conflict with State law. Clarification of
the use of CJty streets for deliveries was given by members
of Council, and Mr. Gibson stated that it was their intent
to defend human life, placing it above the cost of a dollar".
Mr. William J. Hanson, 3642 North Baldwin Park Boulevard,
Baldwin Park, stated that he has a restaurant at the cornier
of Baldwin Park Blvd. and Merced and that business has de-
creased 50% since the posting of Baldwin Park Boulevard.
He further spoke in defense of the truckers.
Mr. Edwin Rqllins, 3947 N.'Big Dalton, Baldwin Park, stated
that he has four trucks over the weight limit and expressed
the opinion that people will always complain and that there
should be another truck route through town, suggesting Big
Dalton or Baldwin Park Blvd. It was his suggestion that the
weight limit be at 20,000 lbs.
Mr. Fred Wiseman, 14259 Palm Avenue, Bgldwtn Park, questioned
who was going to pay the taxes in town if trucks were not per-
mitted, and queried whether trucks would be allowed to park on
his property.
Discussion continued.

either in behalf of or in opposition to Ordinance No. 176,
