<br /> cation before the Federal Communications Commission of the Peninsula Newspapers
<br /> Incorporated to construct and operate a radio station located on the San Fran-
<br /> cisco Peninsula be approved and endorsed for the reasons here given:
<br /> The territory between San Bruno on the north and Mountain View on the
<br /> south which this radio station will serve primarily, is a high class residential
<br /> area and has no local radio station.
<br /> There is a desire to maintain the high standards of the area.
<br /> The district to be served is bound together by common problems such as
<br /> water supply, sanitation , transportation , policing , traffic ,and educational faci -
<br /> lities. There is a need for such a radio station to serve this territory because
<br /> there is no one newspaper or other single medium through which problems of the
<br /> area can be presented to residents .
<br /> The applicant corporation with its entire investment in this area has
<br /> established , through its executives , a fine record for leadership in every move
<br /> for civic betterment during its seventeen years of business in this territory .
<br /> The Taylor Wrecking Company petitioned for right to establish a house wrecking business at
<br /> the north corner of Main and Spruce Streets , but in the absence of the Building Inspector
<br /> the matter was laid over for a week.
<br /> In connection with the contract made between the City and Stone & Youngberg , and the desire
<br /> to make an adjustment , Councilman Eva , seconded by Councilman Christensen , proposed the
<br /> adoption of the following resolution amending Paragraph 2 of the previous agreement by
<br /> which change an additional $6 , 000 would be added to the original $5 , 000 specified.
<br /> Counsiderable discussion ensued and on roll call , the resolution was passed by a 4 to 3
<br /> vote , Councilmen Fletcher , Hohn and McNulty voting i'No" .
