Mrs. Florence Donnelly, with other ladies representing the Peninsula Hospital Auxiliary, addressed the Council concerning the desirability of having a local hospital, and on motion of Councilman Fletcher, seconded by Councilman Christensen, they were authorized to initiate the preliminary investigations by asking the California Medical Association, or some agency which that association might indicate, to make a survey. W. M. Rosenblum, representing the Tidewater Associated Oil Company, again requested per- mission to construct a service station at the northeast corner of E1 Camino Real and Hopkins Avenue, the project having been approved by the Planning Commission. On motion of Councilman Fletcher, seconded by Councilman McNulty, permit was granted provided the plans and specifications meet the approval of the Building Inspector. There was read a letter from the Real Estate Board of Redwood City, the essence of which was that there had been discrimination shown against the members of the board in appointments to Redwood City committees and commissions. The Clerk was instructed to thank the Real Estate Board for the indication of its willingness to cooperate in City projects and to say that when opportunity arose, consideration would be given to the members of the Real Estate Board. P. J. Dwyer of 2406 Lincoln Avenue, appeared before the Council and also filed a written application for a veteran's free license to pick up junk within the city. He ex- plained he intended only to pick up the junk and sell it immediately to Sam Gold who is in the junk business. On motion of Councilman Fletcher, seconded by Council- man Christensen, it was decided to allow Mr. Dwyer a veteran's free license pro- vided he furnished sufficient evidence of being a permanently and totally disabled war veteran and approved by the local United Veterans Council, permit revocable at the pleasure of the Council. In a letter to the Council the Redwood City Planning Commission recommended that Mr. 0. Oleson be permitted to move his used car lot equipment from the corner of E1 Camino Real and James Street to his new car agency at the corner of Middlefield Road and Main Street. On motion of Councilman Fletcher, seconded by Councilman Christensen, the recommendation of the Planning Commission was approved.
