Attention: Judge T. V. Cassidy
Gentleaen:
Enclosed are two copies of a suggested form of resolution
of the Vernon City Uounci1. covering our application for franchise
on Boyle ATenue.
I am also attaching a copy of a 1.etter received !'rom
JIr.. B. F. Woodard, our General So1.icitor, concerning this
resolution.
Very-truly yours,

Mr. A. L. Laws,
District Manager,
Yernon.
Re: franchise on Boyle Avenue
I am handing you herewith three copies of a suggested
form of resolution of the City Council in the matter of the application
of Southern California Edison Company Ltd. for franchise on Boyle
Avenue; one copy is tor the City Clerk, one for the City Attorney,
and one for your files..
If the City is disposed to use this form of resolution
as written, I would appreciate your completing your copy. after the.
resolution has been passed, inserting therein th. name of the
newspaper and the dates of publication on page 2, and the date set for
receiving bids as indicated in the blanks on page 7, and the dates
to be filled in on page 8.
This resolution should probably be checked by the City
Attorney, if that is their usual procedure, before it is presented to
the City Council. If the City Attorney has any changes or suggestions
to make, kindly let me know what they are. As nearly as possible I have
followed the form of resolution by Mr. Reppy and Judge Gassidy on the
last preVious franchise of the same sort.
Inasmuch as there is no newspaper published in the City
of Yernon, the law requires that it be published in a newspaper of
general circulation nearest to the City of Vernon. In my conversation
with the City Clerk some weeks ago I unders~ood that they usually had
notices of this sort published in the Los Angeles Daily Journal or one
of the Los Angeles metropolitan papers. Notice should be published
once a day for ten successive days, or as often during said ~erlod as
said paper is published if' it be a daily newspaper. If published in a
weekly newspaper, .once a week tor four successive weeks.
No action in the matter of passing the ordinance shall be
taken until not less than twenty nor more than thirty days af":ter the
full publication period has expired. The date to be inserted for the
receiving of bids should therefore be set on a date not less taan
twenty nor more than thirty days after the period of publication of the
notice has been completed.
