TViayor Harold Pomeroy of South Gate addressed the Council regard-
ing the matter of the Mattoon Act problems, stating that at the present
time there is no validating statute to undertake the refunding of the in-
d~btedness of the Mattoon Act districts, however, that there is a case be-
fore the Supreme Court of California that was enacted by the Legislature of
1933, and it was believed at first that the act would be declared invalid,
however, the Court has decided to hear further arguments, so it is believed
that there is a cance of upholding the constitutionality of the act, and
along this line their City Attorney, Clyde 'Noodworth is preparing a brief
wishing to know ~thether or not the City of Lynwood wish to participate in
the expense to an amount not to exceed X100.00, stating further that other
Cities will be asked to contribute an amount in proportion to the benefits
that will be derived if the case is successful, stating that said brief
wI 11 be drafted subject to the approval and suggestions made by your. own ,,,,,,~
City Attorney.
After due deliberation, it was moved by Councilman Lake and se-

interest of the City of T;~wood.
