Insurance and Trust Company.: It was explained by the City Manager and the City Attorney.that .said title report indicated a cloud on the property by reason of a Deed of Trust, to the Chase National Bank of New York, granted by Pacific Electric Company, to secure an indebtedness evidenced, by-bonds to be issued. Information had been received by the City Attorney and the City Manager that the Deed of Trust might not apply to- - -the subject property since the subject property "was thought to have been released as a security to.the bonds mentioned. The "City ;Attorney was of the opinion that the City should have this information in writing and--that the City should not proceed to award " -the contract. Mr. Lewis had suggested a Hold Harmless Agreement from Pacific Electric Railway - Company, >but.the City Attorney thought that this would not b ' sufficient-protection'-for the City in view of the amount of money the City is spending to acquire the property.
