AN ORDINANCE OF THE CITY OF ROSEMEAD RELATING TO THE CARE
• AND EXPENDITURE OF MONEYS RECEIVED FROM THE STATE OF CALI-
FORNIA UNDER THE PROVISIONS OF ARTICLE 5, CHAPTER 1, DIVISION I
OF THE STREETS AND HIGHWAY CODE.
It was moved by Stead, second by Lowrey, and unanimously car-
ried that Ordinance No. 27 be read in full. It was moved by
Lowrey, second by Jackman that Ordinance No. 27 be adopted.
Roll call vote as follows: Ayes: Andersen, Jackman, Lowrey,

M. Councilman Lowrey stated he had received a call frcm a Mrs.
Wallace on DeAdalena Street who just spent $35.00 to have her
Por'-w 7 tree trimmed and now the county workman have trimmed
it even more. Councilman Lowrey suggested that either the
Deputy City Clerk or the CA contact Mrs. Wallace.
N. Mayor Andersen stated that he had a request for an endorsement
by the Council on Proposition A & B in the forth coming election.
Proposition A if approved will authorize a bond issue for con-
struction of hospital facilities desperately needed to provide
for the sick.
Proposition B if approved authorizes issuance and sale of
general obligation bonds in the amount of $6,315,000.00.
The proceeds realized from the sale of the bonds will be
used for the construction of womens detention facilities
for the confinement and detention of adult females.
In Los Angeles County today there are women prisoners who
have only 23 square feet of floor spece allotted to them,
including that under their beds - if they have beds. Many
female prisoners must sleep on mattresses in corridors with
one shower for 32 women and one toilet for 18.
These facilities must be provided by the people of Los
Angeles County now and in the event the funds from bonds
sales are not authorized, the costs of construction would
necessarily come from current tax monies and cause an im-
mediate raise in the tax rate. If bond sales are authorized
the cost would be spread over the next twenty years and
people yet to come to this area and some of whom will use
these facilities would share the cost..
It was moved by Lowrey, second by Stead that this Council
go on record endorsing Proposition A & B on the ballot at
the June election. Roll call vote as follows: Ayes:
Andersen, Jackman, Lowrey, Phinney, Stead. Noes: None.
Absent: None.

everyone to be present at the Chamber of Commerce dinner
on Saturday evening for the crowning of Mr. and Miss Rosemead
and the awarding of the $500.00 bond to the winner of .*.'.a
Slogan Contest.
It was moved by Lowrey, second by Stead, and unan;~::iusly car-
ried that the meeting adjourn. Meeting adjourncd at 9:42 o'
clock p.m. Next regular meeting May 24, 1960.
