On motion of Councilman Jones , seconded by Councilman Lambert , permission was granted to make the alterations , provided they were done under the supervision of the Building Inspector . A. Vassere , 432 C4rlos Avenue , requested the Council to arrange to have a light installed in that vicinity . The matter was referred to the City Electrician to investigate and report . H . C . King , representing the Sportsmen ' s Club which had been using the club house at the harbor , asked the Council if it would be possible to waive the payment of the rent as many of the members were inactive , proposing that perhaps a fixed charge could be made for each time the club met . The Council indicated its willingness to cooperate and left the matter in the hands of the City Manager . The selection of an auditor for the city for the ensuing fiscal year was brought up for con- sideration by the City Clerk who presented several letters from firms desiring to bid for the work and also read three specific proposals from Charles H. Peterson of San Francisco , C . E . Piatt of San Mateo and C . G . Uhlenberg of Redwood City . while the Council did not have any complaint to make concerning the work done during the past two years by Mr . Piatt , it was felt that the auditing should be done by a local man if there were such a man qualified living in Redwood City. It was , therefore , decided on motion of Councilman McNulty , seconded by Councilman Beeger , that the contract for the next year ' s auditing be awarded to C . G . Uhlenberg. Mr . F . Morton , representing Foster & Kleiser , asked permission to install panels on the Bay— shore Highway between Main Street and Jefferson Avenue , on El Camino Real at Pine and Lathrop Streets , and also on El Camino Real opposite Harrison Street on the Southern Pacific property . Considerable discussion was had concerning the number of signs in Redwood City and the desirability of not having any more . It was finally decided , on motion of Councilman Jones , seconded by Councilman Beeger , that the policy of the Council would be hereafter to allow not more than 4+0 such panels . The present aprlication was granted with the understanding that there should be no traffic hazard , no adverse criti- cism from the neighbors , that there should be not more than 110 panels and that the signs be erected under the supervision of the City Manager , Building Inspector and Chief of Police .
