OF DOWNEY FAVORING AN EARLY SELECTION OF A
PERMANENT SITE FOR THE SOUTHEAST REGIONAL
DISTRICT COURT
WHEREAS, the County of Los Angeles has recently adopted
a reorganization of the Los Angeles County Superior Courts
whereby they established the Southeast Regional District
Court, and
WHEREAS, it is desirous that a permanent adequate Court
be built at the earliest possibre date with appropriate
facilities for civil and criminal litigation as well as
adequate facilities to house the offices of the County Clerk,
District Attorney, Public Defender, Marshal's office and
related facilities, and
WHEREAS, the early determination of a centrally located
site for a permanent location of the Southeast Regional District
_„ Court would mean a tremendous saving in time and money for
litigants, witnesses, and all law enforcement agencies, and
WHEREAS, the present temporary facilities of the South-
east Regional Court in Compton and South Gate are grossly in-
adequate in physical facilities and man power for the existing
case load, and
WHEREAS, said facilities are further without criminal
jurisdiction, and are located in a location grossly unfair to
the largest segment of the population of the Southeast Regional
District, and
WHEREAS, it is desirous that said permanent site for said
Southeast Regional District Court be both in the geographical as
well as the population center of the Southeast Regional District
Court area.
