Absent : None, The minutes of the meeting of July 17 were approved on motion of Councilman McCarthy , seconded by Councilman McNulty . Mrs . Annette Haddix who manages the Dew Drop Inn at 934 Main Street appeared before the Council regarding the parking space in front of her restaurant . It developed from a discussion that she was a renter from the General Petroleum Corporation and as her complaint had to do with the Service Station on the corner , which is also rented from the General Petroleum Corporation , it was thought best that she take the matter up directly with them. R . E . Bruce , a plumber who lives at 146 Birch Street , appeared before the Council concerning complaints that he had stored plumbing material in his yard and that the noise of dropping pipe had disturbed his neighbors . However , after discussion , on motion of Councilman McCarthy , seconded by Councilman Jones , Mr . Bruce was given permission to have his license renewed with no intimation , however , that the Council sanctioned his present use of the yard as a storage place . This matter was referred to the City Manager to investigate . Holt & Co . indicated a willingness to turn over their "Emerald Lake" electric sign provided the city would take care of it . As there were a few items to be gone into , the matter was laid over until the next meeting to permit the Manager to get further data . The Clerk reported concerning correspondence of the Pacific Greyhound Lines , Inc . and their schedule through Redwood City and was requested to ask the California Railroad Commission if the schedule agreed with the schedule filed with that Board . In a letter to the Council , the San Mateo County Renovize Committee asked that a contribution be made by the City amounting to $240 toward defraying expenses of the movement . Council- man Beeger suggested that it might be a profitable thing to do because this movement might make it necessary to spend less money for relief this winter . Finally , on motion of Council- man Beeger , seconded by Councilman McCarthy , it was decided to contribute $200 , to be taken from the Unbudgeted Reserve Fund . The City Manager explained about the projects under consideration for presentation under the. National Recovery Act and on motion of Councilman McCarthy , seconded by Councilman McNulty , the City Manager and the City Engineer were authorized to proceed in preparing and pre- senting to the State Administrator , Justus Wardell , the extension of the Emerald Lake Water District . The City Treasurer brought up the question of whether the city should consider the San Mateo County Bank as a third bank in this community and thus entitled to a third division of the 1 city deposits or whether this bank should be considered as directly a branch of the First National Bank. On motion of Councilman McNulty , seconded by Councilman Hildebrant , the Treasurer was authorized to use the First National Bank and the Bank of America as the two city depositories .
