143 zoning itself or the prezoning it would be necessary to notice and to reopen the public hearing . Mr . Siegel advised he was there to request the Council not to enter into the annexation agrees ment .

Dan Freidman , 127 Franklin , Redwood City , felt it was totally unnecessary for Redwood City to annex this land .

Maxim Rice , 1756 Broadway , Apt . 8 , representing the "Land for People " organization , felt qualified to state the houses were not more than 20 years old . He suggested this type of annexation would tend to encourage speculation in this area .
