matter of preparing a franchise to be
offered for sale at the request Of the Los
Angeles Terminal Railway company
begs to report that 1t has met and care
fully considered the franchise. and has
practically agreed upon the conditions
and requirements to be imposed by the
ordinance. Your committee desires to
report further that it would be inexpedi-
ent to advertise any franchise for sale
until the new law regulating the sale of
such franchises goes into effect.
your committee Is further advised
that the bill takes effect about May IL.
1t therefore recommends that the matter
of the sale of such a franchise and the

to the committee of the whole to confer
with Mr.. Gibbon, the legal representa-
tive of the Terminal railroad, and to re-
port at the meeting May IT,"
