Subdivision of Lot 23 of Wooster, Whitton & Montgomery Subdivision, Redwood City, 457 California", which map was filed in the office of the County Recorder of San Mateo County on April 9, 1915, in Book 9 of Flaps at page 32. I hereby certify the foregoing to be a true copy of Resolution No. 590, adopted by the City Council at a regular meeting thereof held on the 21st day of June, 1948, at the Council Chambers in the City Hall, Redwood City, California. IN WITNESS WHEREOF I have hereunto set my hand and the seal of said city this 22nd day of June, 1948. City Clerk of the City of Redwood City, and Ex -Officio Clerk of the Council thereof. CITY ATTORNEY ADVISED THAT WHEN THE COUNCIL ADJOURNED it should be to a fixed date, in order that the budget should be effective at July lst. Mayor Werder suggested this �^ be at 3:30, June 30th, at the time for adjournment. i.,. COUNCILtAAN ?MORGAN MOVED THAT THE PLANNING C012MISSION STUDY THE SUBDIVISION ORDINANCE AND REPORT BACK TO THE COUNCIL at their convenience as this should be done to avoid trouble which had occurred in the past. The motion received a second by Councilman Holmquist, and carried. INQUIRY WAS MADE BY COUNCILMAN I,IORGAN IN REGARD to shovels purchased in San Francisco as he thought it would be better to patronize merchants in Redwood City, but he would check further on the item. COUNCILMAN GRANGER STATED THAT normally the Traffic and Safety Commission would not recom- mend stop signals on streets crossing Brewster, Hopkins and Jefferson, but that drivers who traveled these streets regularly regarded them as arterials and drove accordingly, and that those who were not too familiar with the traffic on these streets approached and crossed the respective streets with equal right-of-way. Councilman Britschgi thought the traffic department might set up a speed limit or erect slow signs. Mr. Spears suggested that another traffic problem should be con- sidered: that of keeping traffic clear on Broadway at the foot of Arguello while waiting for trains, so that those approaching Broadway 'Ifho 'wished to make left turn on Broadway could do so as many cars had to wait thus increasing congestion at this point nd delsying other motorists who did not wish to cross the tracks. It was moved by C ouncilman Granger, seconded by Councilman Spillers that these problems be referred to the Traffic and Safety Commission, and carried. IN REGARD TO ALLOCATION OF AREAS ALLOZ^TED TAXI COAPANIES FOR CAB STAY -IDS, Councilman Granger thought some of this space was no longer needed as the various tpxicabs belonged to one company, except for one. Mayor Werder stated if there was no objection this would be referred to the Traffic and Safety Commission for a report. CO1TNCIL-1A'3 GRA,'GER SUGGESTED THAT THE Ai.IUSE:EIIT MACHINE ORDINAYuCE should be revised in order that the City might receive more revenue from this source. City Attorney advised that he had such an ordinance ready for adoption except for setting in of figures. Mayor Werder suggested if satisfactory that the Business License Committee study the situation and bring in figures. COUNCILMAN GRAN1GER NOTED THE REPORT of fire in Tribune of this date and wondered if City answered this call in Kensington Square. Fire Chief Lodi stated this was a border- line fire and to protect City residents' property answered the call. The fire was out before the County Fire Department arrived at the scene.
