52 0 In a letter to the Council, the Chamber of Commerce, by its Secretary, recommended the expenditure of about 027.50 from the Advertising Fund for the purchase of 1,000 ribbon badges, primarily for those who would attend the exposition on San Mateo County Day. The ex- penditure was authorized on motion of Councilman Anderson, seconded by Councilman McCarthy. Permission was granted to Joseph Cykman to operate a restaurant at 901 Main Street under the name of "Redwood Pharmacy". Hare, Brewer & Kelley, realtors of Palo Alto, in a letter to the Council i asked permission to erect two subdivision signs referring to the Exposition Model Home and to other home sites, signs to be located on Lot 9, Block 9, and Lot 14, Block 42 Edgewood Park. On motion of Councilman McCarthy, seconded by Councilman Anderson, it was decided to grant permission to erect these signs at least for the duration of the Model Homes Exhibit or not later than the closing of the Exposition; provided further, that if placing the name of the firm on the sign was in conflict with the ordinance governing the erection of such signs that the City Manager take the necess- ary steps to make the signs conform to the ordinance. The Clerk read a long letter from William 11. Enomoto in explanation of his requirements in the way of greenhouses near Gordon Street and also a letter from the Greater South Redwood Improvement Club pro- testing the erection of any more greenhouses or cheesecloth cover- ed enclosures. No action was taken. The Parks and Recreation Commission, by its secretary, filed the follow - Ing letter: OAt the regular monthly meeting of the Redwood City Parks and Recreation Commission May 19, 1939, the follow- ing recommendation was voted for presentation to the City Council of the City of Redwood City. a) That future burials in Union Cemetery on Woodside Road be prevented to as great an extent as possible. b) TYat provision for the abandonment of the area as a burial ground be made with an eye to the eventual conver- sion of the area into a municipal park. c) That in all future years the Parks and Recreation Commission shall not recommend for appropriation in its budget any sums for the annual clearance of the cemetery, since in practice the money expended for that purpose has kept the cemetery in presentable condition only for a short time preceding and following each Memorial Day, May 30." Although considerable discussion ensued, no definite action was taken.
