235 age of Carleton Court. Mr. Fogel informed the Council that a petition is being cir- culated and about 45% so far are in favor of the drainage district and street improve- ments. After much discussion regarding the drainage into the Kentfield area, Council- man Britschgi offered RESOLUTION 1875 AUTHORIZING CONDEMNATION FOR DRAINAGE EASEMENT AND WATER LINES and moved adoption, seconded by Councilman Royer with the thought in mind that the City Engineer and City Attorney will contact the people to see if this can be worked out without condemnation proceedings.
