Deny Violation of Bus Permits
Henry E. Jordan of the Bureau of Franchises told the City Council neither Long Beach City Lines nor the Long Beach Motor Bus Co. is violating their franchises. He noted the Long Beach Motor Bus Co operates between Long Beach and nearby communities with separate records under an approved formula by the California Public Utilities Commission. He cited a contract between the two companies, approved by the commission and the city bureau, allowing intercharge of equipment and services.

City Council Increases Weed Clearing Rates
City Council approved a 23 percent boost in weed clearing charges upon City Manager Samuel E. Vickers recommendation. The rise aims to offset partial losses in the Public Service Department weed division, affecting average lot owners with city weed clearing. New rate rises from 6.5 to 8 cents per 100 square feet, with a 5000 square foot jet area costing about 3.40 dollars. The measure takes effect May 1 amid a 25 percent contractor fee hike. In 1950 the city paid 22,897 for weed clearing while revenue from owners was 12,030.45 and city-owned clearings cost 8,496, leaving a net unrecovered loss of 2,370.53.
