<br />The Veterans of Foreign -Wars requested the Council to pass a resolution to approve and endorse
<br />proposed legislation providing for the cash payment of World War Veterans'_ Adjusted
<br />Service Certificates. The resolution as presented was passed on motion of Councilman
<br />Fletcher, seconded by Councilman Eva, with Councilmen Christensen, McCarthy and Lambert
<br />voting "No".
<br />WHEREAS, there has been much publicity broadcast throughout
<br />the nation by both Press and Radio, in reference to the early cash
<br />payment of World War Veterans' Adjusted Service Certificates, and
<br />WHEREAS, the Federal Administration is seeking ways and
<br />means of legally relieving the present economic stress of the nation,
<br />and
<br />WHEREAS, the said Veterans' Adjusted Service Certificates
<br />constitute an acknowledged Government Debt that should have been paid
<br />at the time the service was rendered, and
<br />WHEREAS, the early payment of this debt will, not only be
<br />a just recognition of patriotic service, but will also save our Federal
<br />Treasury millions of dollars in cost of administration, and will serve
<br />as a great stimulation to business and industry in every part of the
<br />nation,
<br />NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED, by the City Council of
<br />Redwood City, California, in regular meeting assembled this 18th day
<br />of March, A.D. 1935, that we unanimously approve and endorse, pending
<br />proposed legislation providing for such payment, and hereby call upon
<br />and urge our Representatives in the Congress of the United States, to
<br />support and work for such legislation until same is enacted into law.
<br />Charles Cooley, of the Redwood City Airport, sounded out the Council concerning its attitude
<br />toward developing the Airport. As the proposal was somewhat indefinite, the matter was
<br />referred to a committee of the City Manager, Councilman Christensen and Mayor Lambert.
<br />On motion of Councilman Eva, seconded by Councilman Fletcher, the following resolution was
<br />unanimously adopted.
<br />WHEREAS, the completion of the Oakland -San Francisco and
<br />the Golden Gate Bridges is to be commemorated by a great international
<br />exposition which will center the interest of the world on the San
<br />Francisco Bay Area at that time; and
<br />WHEREAS, those responsible for the success of the exposi-
<br />tion must, in order to assure maximum benefits, select as its site
<br />that particular spot which is most ideal; and
<br />WHEREAS, the municipally owned land adjacent to the San
<br />Francisco Airport in northern San Mateo County provides all of those
<br />climatic, geggraphical, economic and transportation conditions so
<br />essential to a successful international exhibition; now, therefore,
<br />BE IT RESOLVED that the City Council of the City of Redwood ,
<br />City urges those responsible for locating the San Francisco Bay Expo-
<br />sition to give favorable consideration to that land adjacent to the
<br />San Francisco Airport as a site for this great undertaking.
