The Clerk explained how an error in executing a deed to
the City of Lynwood by Frank B.R.oberts and Margaret C. H. Roberts of
a portion of Lot 26 and 27, Licensed Surve~Tor's Map, resulted in the
City acquring more than one-half of the lots as they exist today, it
being the intention at that time to deed one-half of the property.
Owing to the dedication from those lots years ago for Imperial High-
way street purposes, a dedication of one-half of the lots as recorded
resulted in the uneven division, To effect an even distribution
of the property, 1t will be necessary to deed back to the Roberts
17.19 feet of the property. The Clerk further explained that this
uneven division is readily apparent by viewing the existing improve-
ment oP the property by the City.
Whereupon, it was moved by Councilman Shroek, seconded by
Councilman Jensen, that the Mayor and City Clerk be authorized to
execute a deed wherein the City of Lynwood conveys to Frank B. Roberts
and Margaret C.. H. Roberts, the norhterly 17.19 feet of the southerly

26 and 27 as shown on Licensed Surveyor's Map recorded in Book 16,
