33 COUNCILMAN ROYER reported that the request of the Chamber of Commerce for 65,500.00 operat- ing expenses be held over to the Budget Study Meeting. COUNCILMAN ROYER also requested that the application of Mission Trails Association for 4150.00 on 1955 -56 Budget be held over to the Budget Study Meeting. COUNCILMAN ROYER advised the Council that there is very little mention of Redwood City in the Mission Trails Association pamphlet and this is due to the fact that the Redwood City merchants do not advertise in the pamphlet and the City Manager has been re- quested to contact some of the motels to see why they are not represented.

Both sites are of a proper elevation to ride on Hetch - Hetchy lines. 2. Any one site can be made safe and protected from pollution. 3. Both reservoirs may have some leakage. 1 +. Our Engineers think the upper site is preferable but if considerable savings can be made and health and safety problems can be met, they will go along with it. 5. It was felt that the Farm Hills Subdivision should come in with additional studies as to costs of both reservoirs at their own expense, which will be considered by our City Engineer.
