COlaRR4ICATION IN REGARD TO FOX SHOPPE PROPERTY AND COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF REDWOOD CITY RESOLUTION NO. 698 ADOPTED APRIL 180 1949• (Plan lines for Whipple Avenue). The Clerk read the following letter: Fox Shoppe Property and Council of the City of Redwood City Resolution No. 698 adopted April 18, 1949. You are doubtlessly aware of the Resolution No. 698 adopted by you Council at a regular meeting thereof held on the 18th day of Apil 1949 and, in particular, Paragraph numbered 114" thereof.

Whether or not the position adopted by Mr. Wattenberg and Mr. Stiller is correct is one which may ultimately have to be litigated, in which event, of.necessity, we would be compelled to bring the City of Redwood City into this action as a party. In this event, if the
