Miller and Lots 10, 11 and 12, San Mateo County Agriculture Department property are in such condition that repairs must be had. c. That as a result of work by contractor some 25 feet of sidewalk in fron of 312 Chestnut (Jamison was damaged as a result of the work of the contractor. d. That the property owners are cognizant of their responsibility, but likewise insist on the city assuming its responsiblity for failure to require contractor to replace driveways and for portion of sidewalk damaged by said contractor. e. That because of time elapsed no recourse against contractor is now possible. Recommendations: a.
