<br /> DISCUSSION ON ANNEXATIONS, ADDITIONAL DATA AND INFORMATION, COUNCILMAN WEISS. Councilman Weiss called attention
<br /> to a letter printed in the Forum Column of the Tribune on February 2, 1957, and which r eads in part as follows
<br /> P"" PORT PROGRAM OFFERED
<br /> To the Editor:
<br /> Much has been said in recent days about the so-called los of federal funds, or
<br /> assistance, to the Port of Redwood City- because of the repeated failure (?) of the people
<br /> to pass local bond issues for port improvement.
<br /> We have been told of the port's thriving and profitable operation notwithstanding
<br /> the charges of its opponents and the federal snub.
<br /> It occurs to the undersigned that a thriving and profitable organisation or
<br /> enterprise should hardly be seeking or require subsidy either from the federal government
<br /> or by local public bond issue.
<br /> Even opponents of the port can not, however, gainsay that it is, or would be,
<br /> inadvisable to improve the situation and operating facilities, especially by providing an
<br /> adequate turning basin. Most of us4 however, believe that such a program could readily be
<br /> accomplished without cost to the taxpayers or the necessity of federal subvention.
<br /> The facts are that dredging of the re-uired turning basin could be accomplished if
<br /> only the so ardent proponents of port development could be prevailed upon to demonstrate
