N,1 "Re: Redwood City Harbor, P. W. A. Project No. Calif. 1445-2D. I have this day made final inspection of the accessory construction to the Wharf and Transit Shed at Redwood City Harbor by W. 0. Tyson, contractor, and find all work completed in accordance with the plans and specifications to my entire satisfaction.° On motion of Councilman McNulty, seconded by Councilman Fletcher, it was decided to increase the contribution to the American Red Cross from $75 to $100, and the treasurer was instructed to make up claim and warrant accordingly. There came up again discussion of the question of removing two oak trees from the circular park at the intersection of broadway, Arch, and Brewster. Councilman Eva again moved that these two trees be taken out of the park because they inter- fered with the growth of a cedar tree. His motion was seconded by Councilman McNulty and upon vote was carried. Adjournment. BEM:HAS MINUTES OF REGULAR MEETING REDWOOD CITY COUNCIL NOVEMBER 15r 1937 5:00 P. M.

No action was taken about the old school building, but on his third point Mr. Smith was asked to write a letter concerning the assessment to the City Assessor, upon receipt of which the City Assessor could make a report to the Council. The question of extension and paving of Valota Road again came up for discussion, and it was finally decided on motion of Councilman Fletcher, seconded by Councilman Eva, that if Mrs. Pinotti did not by next Monday, November 22, come to some agreement about the right-of-way through her land, the City Attorney be authorized '347
