Whereas, this association has for
the past year vigorously but ineffec-

ficials of the Pacific Electric Railroad
company to operate their Temple street
car system in accordance with the
franchise granted many years ago by
the city council, which requires the
operation of said Temple street car
system to the terminus at the inter-
section of Temple and Spring streets
and not, as now operated, via Broad
way and East First street to San
Pedro street, therefore be it
"Resolved, That the North, North
east and Northwest Improvement as
sociation demands that immediate
steps be taken to enforce the terms of
the franchise and If the Pacific Elec-
trio railroad company fails to comply
with the requirements of said fran
chise, that the city council instruct
the city attorney to declare the fran
chise forfeited"
This resolution will be presented to
the city council at its next session,
The association also passed a reso-
luton wherein it asks the city coun-
Gil not to abolish the position of oil
inspector.
A communication was received from
Samuel Rees in which he suggested
method of constructing a storm drain
to carry all storm water that may ac-
eumulate north of Macy street, into
the Los Angeles river. This COM
munication was referred to the commit
tee on storm sewers and laterals, which
will meet in a few days to prepare
plans for storm water drain on AL
ameda street and present the same to
the committee on streets and boule-
wards of the city council.
