I Fl 1 James•Mandt of San Mateo, representing the relatives of Russell Larson who drowned at the Yacht Harbor a few days ago, came before the Council to demand that there be established a life guard at the Yacht Harbor. After considerable discussion in which the councilmen indicated the desirability of.having a life guard at that point, it'was decided, on motion of Councilman Edmonds, seconded by Councilman McNulty, to have _ the City Manager confer with the Recreation Commission to work out some practical plan. In the meantime, it was thought desirable to utilize the services of a high school,graduate life guard which might be obtain- ed on a temporary basis. ,, John E. McCarthy, in a letter to the Council, asked the City to take,up with the Pacific Gas and Electric Company the placing of'gas connections at new houses early enough to avoid annoyance and possible discomfort to the people moving into the new houses. The matter was referred to the Building Inspector. The City Manager, in a letter to the Council, 'recommended that the City adopt the Plumbing Ordinance recently adopted by the County of San Mateo, and effective July 1, 1940. As this proposed ordinance had been already approved by the County Building Inspectors, Merchant Plumbers Associa- tion, Journeymen Plumbers, and Associated General Contractors, as well as by the City Building Inspector and City Manager, it was decided to refer it to the City Attorney for his approval; this on motion of Coun- cilman Edmonds, seconded by Councilman McNulty. In a letter to the City, the City Manager recommended that two,safe cabinets now in the Central Fire House be sold to James E. Townsend Company in accord with their df,ier of $$210. The Manager was instructed to make the sale in accordance with his letter. On motion of Councilman Edmonds, seconded by Councilman Werder, the City Manager was instructed to pay the bill of $10.30 from W. W. Hilton for a trophy in connection with the July 4th.celebration, same to be charged to the City Publicity Fund. On motion of Councilman Werder, seconded by Councilman McNulty, R. T.
