66 by Councilman Lambert. Sam D. Merk, Director of the San Mateo County C.W.A, asked that those officials representing " the Council in C.W.A. projects be officially authorized to sign any necessary papers. On 'f motion of Councilman Beeger, seconded by Councilman Lambert, City Manager, E. A. Rolison and City Engineer; C. L. Dimmitt, were so authorized and the Clerk instructed to send i Mr. Merk the necessary credentials. Col. John H. Skeggs, District Engineer of the Division of Highways, suggested, in a letter dated March 7, that definite action on the establishment of the setback line on E1 Camino Real be postponed until the completion of a survey which he was now making. In a letter signed by R. W. Steffens for the E1 Camino Players, dated March 15, permission was i asked of the Council that theCouncilgive official approval to the change of name, namely, "Redwood City Community Players". This the Council did and the Clerk was instructed to • II write them to that effect. A letter was receivedfrom James Smith of Redwood City, no street address given, in which coin— _ Ci _ 3�1 parison was made of the success of the Fire Department and the Police Department, request— Ing that something might profitably be done to help the Police Department. The letter was ordered filed. A letter was received from a special committee of the Chamber of Commerce concerning a map and literature for the City of Redwood City, suggesting that 3,000 copies of a combined map and folder could be printed at a cost not to exceed $200.00, which amount it was requested the City contribute. The Council indicated that it was favorable toward the proposal but was not sure whether the money would be available. It was therefore decided to leave it to the City Manager to arrange to the best advantage. i D. L. Walter, in a longletter to the Council, , suggested several proposals which might be 'of benefit to the City. As the proposals really concerned the Planning Commission, the letter was ordered sent to them for consideration. Under old business, the Card Game Ordinance came up for consideration again and letters were i read from the Olive Branch of Rebekah Lodge and also from the Redwood City Promotion As— a sociation. Mrs. Charles Rider for the Woman's Club appeared to talk on the proposal. Afteri ai considerable discussion, on motion of Councilman McCarthy, seconded by Councilman Lambert, it was decided not to draw up a specific ordinance covering the situation but to charge Mr. L. J. Thein 1.00 a night, $3.00 a month for one night a week and $9.00 a $ g , g , quarter for one night a week, with the understanding that fraternal societies, churches, and similar organizations, where the proceeds are used for club benefits, would not be charged. C. L. Dimmitt, City Engineer, made a partial report concerning the extension of Maple Street. Concerning the local relief office, the Clerk indicated that San Carlos was ready to contribute Its share, but that no word had been received from Atherton or Menlo Park. The City Mana— ger, in connection with this report, said that he had received word that it<would not be necessary, perhaps, for the local communities to finance this office. ir
