D. L. Walter explained to the Council that he represented interests which were planning a built-up subdivision west of the Avenue de las Pulgas at Blandford Street in Edgewood Park, and asked whether or not the City would furnish water and permit sewer connection with the Redwood City system. On motion of Councilman Fletcher, seconded by Councilman Christensen, it was decided to grant the request of Mr. Walter with the understanding that all pipe, etc. would be furnished; that $25 would be paid for each sewer connection; and that the number of connections would be limited to 18. J. C. Youngberg, in a letter from the District Re -organization Service Company, San Francisco, suggested certain procedures in connection with the recent $425,000 refunding bond issue. The Council went on record as favoring the recommendations of Mr. Youngberg .(on motion of Councilman McCarthy, seconded by Councilman Fletcher) with the exception that the City Treasurer need not register the individual coupons. Included in the motion was the specific direction to the City Treasurer not to pay out any moneys from any of the 1915 Act funds unless there was sufficient in the fluid to pay all outstanding indebtedness of that particular fund. In the same connection, the City Treasurer was instructed to notify all bondholders that until,a test case had been made no money would be available under the refinancing bond issue.
