highway shall state in detail:
a The location, dimensions, purpose, extent and
nature thereof and
b. The time during which it is estimated that
such excavation or obstruction will exist.
7301.1. Same. When excavations are made for service
connections or for the location of trouble in conduits or
pipes, or for making repairs thereto, the City Engineer may
waive the filing of a plat. Otherwise each applicant for an

pipe, conduit, duct, or tunnel, or relocate at a location

The cost shall be estimated by multiplying the
number of square feet of surface which may be damaged as shown
by the application and plat, and the number of inches of thick-
ness, plus one inch, by such sum as the Board of Supervisors
by order determines to most adequately represent the actual
cost. Such order shall in no event specify a sum greater than

occasioned by future excavations or obstructions. The general
deposit shall be held and used for the same purposes as the
special deposit prescribed by Section 7303.

increased to such an amount as he determines will be sufficient
to protect such public interest.

substantially the following form:
We hereby certify that except as shown on a copy
of this map on file in the office of the City Engineer, we
know of no easement or structure existing within the easements
hereby offered for dedication to the public, other than pub-
licly owned water lines, sewers or storm drains; that we will
grant no right or interest within the boundaries of said ease-
ments offered to the public, except where such right or in-
terest is expressly made subject to the said easements."
9228.8. Same. Waiver of Si natures. If the owner of
an easement or r of way of any kind or nature in any
right of way offered for dedication, who has no other interest
whatever in any part of the lands included within the subdi-

way offered to the public, but the final map in all other re-
spects complies with this Chapter and with the Subdivision
Map Act, and the City Council finds that the subdivider has
in good faith attempted to obtain the necessary signature from
such owner and has been unable t o do so, and that a refusal to
accept the final map for recordation would work an undue hard-
ship on the subdivider, than by a majority vote of all its
members the City Council may accept such map.
9228.9. Same. Rights of Way Under Condemnation, In
the event that an easement for any right of way required under

tion, say show such right of way upon the final map thereof as
a private right of way, and prior to the approval of such final
map shall file with the City Engineer a deed granting such
easement to the City on condition that such condemnation pro-
ceedings are abandoned, together with a contract and bond as
provided by Sections in this Chapter relative thereto.
In the event that such condemnation proceedings
shall be completed such deed, contract, and bond shall be re-
turned to the sub divider. In the event that such condemnation
proceedings are abandoned such deed, contract and bond shall
be delivered by the City Engineer to the City Council for
acceptance.
9228.10. Same. Park and Recreation Areas. The Planning

SECTION 2, This ordinance hereby is declared to be for
the immediate preservation of the public peace, health, and
safety. A declaration of the facts constituting its urgency
is as follows;
Prior to the day upon which this ordinance becomes
effective the area of the County of Los Angeles, now known and
incorporated as the City of Baldwin Park, was an unincorporated
area within the County of Los Angeles subject to the general
laws of the State of California, and to the ordinances of the
County of Los Angeles. Upon the incorporation the ordinances
of the County of Los Angeles no longer have any effect upon or
application to persons or property within the City of Baldwin
Park; the only laws pertaining to said City are the general
laws of Government and provisions of the State and Federal
Constitutions.
It therefore is necessary that there be enacted to
take effect immediately the local administrative ordinances and
regulations and exercises of the police power set forth in this
ordinance; that to enact such ordinances only after two readings
thereof, and to await the thirty-day period vaüld cause complete
chaos within the City of Baldwin Park, as there would be no
restraint upon persons in regard to any of their personal
actions, nor in regard to the use of their property, regardless
of the manner in which others might be affected, in the safety
of their persons or protection of their property.
The City Clerk shall certify to the adoption of this
Ordinance and shall cause the same to be published or posted in
the manner required by law, and this Ordinance shall take effect
immediately upon its adoption.
PASSED AND APPROVED this 25th day of January, 1956.
