WHEREAS, the City of Lynwood supplies public safety services to
its 43, 000 citizens in the form of fire protection services and police services, and

1972 consumption has resuited in a situation which leaves the City of Lynwood
critically short of gasoline and unable to rely on these Federal allocations for
supplying the mandatory needs for these public safety vehicles.
