A letter was read from the Selva Marina Country Club commending
our Police Department for their diligent efforts and the good
work done in connection with the break-in and theft at the

expression of thanks to Mr . Claiborne .
A letter was read from Mr . Harcourt Bull answering our letter
to him dated March 27th, 1962 relative to the use of the ease-
ments to the Sewer Plant Site . That part of the letter referring
to the City truck 's using the easement as a roadway to get to
the Sewer Plant was discussed and Mr Craig advised that he will
direct City Employees not to drive on that easement in the fu-
ture.. However it was brought out that that is the only accessi-
ble way to the plant, as that section of Donner Road east of
Frances Ave is impassable in dry weather . The matter was re-
ferred to Mr , Craig to determine what can be done to-wards mak-
ing Donner Road passable.
