DODGE Clerk of the City of Redwood City I hereby approve the foregoing Resolution this 7th day of April, 1947- 1 W. W. HILTON Mayor of the City of Redwood City Affidavit of publication of ordinance governing restaurants was ordered filed on motion of Councilman,Granger, seconded by Councilman McNulty. Motion passed unanimously. Councilman Granger offered adoption of ordinance governing restaurants, seconded by Councilman McNulty. On roll call, ordinance was unanimously adopted. City Manager Blom advised that in accordance with instructions of the Council bids for an air compressor were received on March 31.
