A committee representing the Recreation Fund for Redwood City appeared to re- quest of the Council a donation of $500 toward Fourth of July celebration expenses.

H. Weiner of the San Mateo County Realty Company appeared before the Council to consider further his application for permit to erect a small steel and con- crete building on E1 Camino Real approximately 100 feet north of the pres- ent Shell Oil Company's station opposite Wellesley Park. He submitted sketch of the proposed construction. On motion of Councilman Werder, seconded by Councilman Edmonds, application granted. H. Gibbs, representing General Petroleum Corporation appeared before the Council in connection with the request of the General Petroleum Company to construct a service station at the northwest corner of Jefferson Avenue and E1 Camino Real. The matter had previously been held up by the State Highway Commission which was negotiating for the purchase of the property. Mr. Gibbs and Mr. Louis Behrens told the Council that this part of the deal had been concluded and that there was now no reason for holding up the permit as requested. It was finally decided, on motion of Councilman McNulty, seconded by Council- man Christensen, to grant the request of the General Petroleum Company for the placing of a service station at this corner according to the conditions outlined in the company's letter of April which read, in part; as follows: "Request that we be permitted to install improvements in the 27 -foot set- back area at this time with the understanding that we will remove and re- locate at our expense the pumps, pump island, and air and water wells to a permanent location back of the setback line when, and if, the highway is widened. 11 The City Manager submitted letter concerning an old barn at the southeast corner of Arguello and Rogers Street on which the Building Inspector had made report stating that said building was unsightly and should be removed. On motion of Councilman Edmonds, seconded by Councilman Christensen, the City Manager was asked to write to the owner asking him to tear down the barn.
