Our regular account is with the Anglo: -California Trust Company and the <br />checks attached to these bids should have been drawn -on and taken to that bank for their <br />certification. <br />We assure you we do not sidestep any responsibility caused by an employees <br />stupidity and wish to complete this contract for•you in good faith. <br />We would respectfully, ash that you do not let any outside influence from others <br />concerned tend to magnify this thing, We will furnish you at once with a certified check <br />you should have had with the bid,drawn upon the Anglo -California Trust Company. <br />However from the tome of Mr.Mansfield's letter of .October 2Ist my office <br />assumed that the contract was cancelled -and have since sold and delivered the -pipes which <br />were enroute to us for your account. <br />We will wire our Foundary immediately however upon advises from you .and can rush. <br />another lot of pipes for your order promising a delivery at Redwood City around December <br />' 2 0th. <br />Trusting that this will clear any.misunderstanding that may have existed between; <br />us and that you will write us fully if this does not,we remain, <br />WIOtE <br />blank <br />encl/check on <br />Anglo -Calif <br />Trust Company <br />Very truly yours <br />S.F.Steel Products Company. <br />by W.I.Osborne. <br />Ori motion of Trustee•Kreiss,seconded by Trustee McNulty the foregoing letter be received <br />and filed,' and the contract of the S.F.Stee.l Products'Company be recinded on account of <br />check not being properly certified to and the pipe being sold.19otion Carried. <br />Application of Mrs.Joe Casaretto for permission to move a building from corner of <br />Broadway and State Highway to Lot iJ 18 in Block 6=Dingee Park,on east side of Birch St* <br />said permit was granted on motion of Trustee McNulty,seconded by.Trustee Kreiss provided <br />they live. up to the City Ordinance. <br />I <br />Communication from Redwood City Post # 105 American Legion thanking the Board for <br />granting them a permit to show therW.E.Goff Shows was on motion of TFustee Tuchsen, <br />seconded by Trustee Kreiss same be received and filed.Motion darried. <br />Application of Redwood Parlor # 66 N.S.G.W. for permit to hold a dance in Forester's <br />Hall Saturday evening November 12th.192I until one o'clock was on motion of .Trustee <br />Mabie,seconded by Trustee McNulty said permit be granted,Motion Carried. <br />Application of ITorvin Grove No -52 U.A.O.D. for a permit.to hold a dance in Foresters <br />Hall on Saturday evening November 26th.until one o'clock was on motion of Trustee Maisie <br />seconded 'by TFu.stee McNulty same be granted,Iviotion Carried. <br />Application of Court-'Iadrone No.158 F.of A.for a permit to hold two dances in <br />Forester's Hall on Saturday evening November Igth. and Wednesday evening November 23rd. <br />1921 was on motion of Trustee Tuchsen,seconded by Trustee McNulty said permit for both <br />dances be granted until one o'clock ,Motion Carried. <br />Application of Redwood City Post No.I05 American Legion for a permit to hold a <br />one o'clock dance in forester's Rall on Thursday evening November IOth.192I,was on motioh. <br />of Trustee Idabie, seconded by Trustee McNulty said permit be granted,Motion Oarried. <br />Application of A.Dal Poggetto for a permit- to hold a twelve o'clock dance at 130¢ ill <br />} <br />E, Camino Real on Saturday evenings, November I2th. and Igth.was granted on motion of Trustee <br />W <br />
