Julius Titz , corner of Brewster Avenue and Clinton Street , protested unnecessary noise at the Episcopal Church building , and he was told that investigation would be made . Roy Hohberger , Y.M. C .A. Secretary , spoke to the Council about the desirability of building bleachers on the soft baseball diamond , indicating that there was rather a large attendance at the games and that the collections taken up could be diverted to the City toward the payment of such construction. On motion of Councilman Fletcher , seconded by Councilman McNulty , the matter was referred to the Manager , with instructions to build the bleachers at the most reasonable figure . Norman S. Menifee appeared before the Council in connection with the case of Eugenie Rzellan and Alfred Ruell an , her husband , vs . W. H. Thorpe and the City of Redwood City , covering automobile accident at the intersection of Pennsylvania and Jefferson Avenues . He recalled that a judg- ment had been had for $2 , g50 , and that an agreement had been entered into by which the City guaranteed the payment of $g50 . As the receivers of the insurance carrier had indicated that it would be some time before any possible moneys might be had , Mr. Menifee asked the Council to pay this $g50 , covering bills of local doctors and hospitals . On motion of Councilman Fletcher , seconded by Councilman Eva , the Treasurer was ordered to pay the amount which re- presented the actual expense incurred for medical services , etc. Mr. Menifee also appeared in connection with the Buben matter and indicated that he had received information of a contradictory nature and was willing to work out the affair in the proper way. In order to get it before the Council clearly and comprehensively , the Building Inspector was asked to make a complete written report of the case for further consideration. Mr. C . B . Mish made strong protest against allowing the weeds which had been mowed to lie around on vacant lots as , he said, such treatment constituted a fire hazard and also allowed the dry grass and weeds to blow on to other people ' s property. It was finally decided either to pick up and take away such cut material , or to burn it . Clifford Walk , who has been investigating the possibilities of a local airport and obtaining data concerning costs and probable revenue , proposed that the Council take further steps in this connection , and suggested that it would be a profitable thing for someone to go to Los Angeles to interview the owner of the property in an effort to obtain a satisfactory lease and to see different manufacturers in regard to locating factories on the site . On motion of Councilman Eva , seconded by Councilman Christensen , it was ordered that sufficient funds , not to exceed $50 , be appropriated to pay the expenses of Mr . Walk to Los Angeles for this purpose . At this time the Joe Wasserman application for an auto wrecking establishment at 1135 Main Street
