REPORTS OF SPECIAL CO-MMI^iTEES: The Committee appointed by Mayor Hall to investigate and report on the proposal of Elizabeth Wyatt, et al for compromise settlement of boundary line submitted the following: "Several members of your committee have gone over the proposal of Mrs. Wyatt and others in reference to the compromise settlement of boundary line between property claimed by them and by the City of Newport Beach, and said committee, after it had c onsulted tgeth.er in refer- ence thereto, now makes its findings and recommendations, as follows: ' The Committee respectfully finds that it is impossible at this time to determine, without havJng a search of title made and expert technical advice, as to what properties may or may not be owned bJ the City of Newport Beach; and even after such search and advice, it is the opinion and judgment of your committee that the boundary lines of the City in reference to the • property claimed by the parties named would still be found in a condition where it would probably require court action to settle the matter; that if, in fact, the claimants own the property and have legal title thereto, that such legal title should be vested in them, but if the city owns the property, that your Comm- ittee would not be justified in the transferring to said parties properties which are owned by the City of Newport Beach and the citizens thereof. In view of the position which your Committee now takes, it now recommends that the compromise offer of the claimants for settlement of the boundary line dispute, if , in fact, there is a question as to the boundary line, be rejected." On motion of Councilman Isbell, seconded by Councilman Allen and carried, the report of the Committee was accepted.
