Councilman McCarthy, seconded by Councilman Christensen proposed adoption of Ordinance No. 370, rezoning as indicated, and the same carried with Councilman Jones voting'I'No°. Councilman Eva reported progress concerning the work of the Committee in connection with the 1915 Bond statistics. As requested by the Council, the City Attorney presented suggested ordinance concerning the sale and solicitation of various goods and merchandise in Redwood City with the special intention of reaching what had been characterized as 11panhandling° out- side veterans. However, Major Edmonds, who first suggested such an ordinance, was present and said that in his opinion the ordinance ras not strong enough.
