1 Cl i Communication was received from the Redwood City Planning Commission recommending the munbering on the part of Winslow Street which was formerly Chilton Street be changed in accordance with an attached sketch. It was pointed out that the Commission, believed this renumbering should be considered .only a tempor- ary elpedi,ent and that a study should be made of the entire area east of E1 Camino Real with a view to arriving at a system•of numbering which would be consistent and provide for future expansion. There was some discussion in regard to making a temporary change but it was brought out that there were conflicting numbers on the two parts of Winslow at the present time and that a temporary renumbering of the street seemed to be the only solution to the problem.
