To Attorneys appearing in the above
case on behalf of the defendants
Gentlemen:
This letter is written to the Attorneys,
representing claimants to rights in Pacific Electric right of
way involved in the above case, as to meeting with representa-
tives of the Division of Highways on March 9, 1960.
Present at the meeting were Mr. Van
Dusen and myself, representing Pacific Electric Railway Company,
and Mr. Telford and various representatives of the Right of
Way and Legal Departments of the Division of Highways. As a
result of this meeting the following understanding was reached,
subject to the concurrence by the other defendants.
1. That the State would not proceed
at the present time with the Pretrial set for April. 20, 1960,
and would not have the trial date set at that time.
2. This would be on condition that
the parties defendant would waive the provisions of Section
581 - a and 583 of the Code of Civil Procedure.
3. That the parties would agree on
July 1, 1960, as the valuation date of the property.
4. The purpose of the meeting at this
time was for the reason that the State was desirous of obtaining
the full 100 foot right of way, and would request the parties
to stipulate to an amendment of the complaint with the under-
standing that until Interstate Commerce Commission authority
could be obtained the defendants would oppose to the taking
of the 60 foot right of way.
5. In filing the am6nded complaint,
the State would segregate into parcels those portions as to
which individual defendants were making claims, that is, the
Mills portion, the Willow Land portion and the portion claimed
by the City of Huntington Beach would all be set up in separate
parcels.
6. In the meantime, the Pacific Elect-
ric would attempt to enter into an agreement with the Cities

pane #3 -- .iinu4es, March 14, 1960
of Huntington Beach and Newport Beach and when that was
done would file its application to the Interstate Commerce
Commission attempting to secure authority to abandon the
line between Huntington Beach and Newport Beach.
If Any of those receiving copy of
this letter have objections to the proposed procedure, I
would appreciate being advised as soon as possible.
Yours very truly,
E. D. Yeomans"
