STREETS AND BUILDINGS: Councilman Hansen reported that Mr. Stahlnecker and Mrs. Blacow had informed him that all but one property owner on Third Street and all but one on Angela St. were in favor of having curb and gutters installed. Councilman Hansen was requested to bring in the signed petitions, and it was thought possible that the remaining property owners might ,be induced to sign. He also reported that he had accompanied the State P.U.C. and Southern Pacific Railroad representatives on a survey of Southern Pacific hailraod crossings in the Town, and that the Railroad Co. would install flasher type signals, change the Spring Street signal and fix up their crossings, while the Town should paint crossing stripes on the streets. He stated that speed limit signs recently installed on Rose Ave. at Pleasanton Ave. had been effective in slowing down speeders.

Co. could probably install a 36" culvert under their bridge opposite the Sewer Farm but could not cut any deeper under the existing footings. Councilman Oxsen stated that in so far as the tile flooring in- stalled in the Fire House had been put in before he was made Chairman of the Committee, he had no recommendation to make on the Department's request for reimbursement ofthe cost in the amount of 0301.93.

He also stated that at the sewer farm the ditch had been cleared to allow the overflow to run along the westI side of the county road and then back into the drain- age ditch south of the ponds. MAYOR TRIMINGHAM brought up the problem of what to do about the required improvements to the Sewage Disposal ponds. After some'discussion, the Clerk was directed to contact Mr. Espy of the San Francisco Water Department as to the possibility of the Town purchasing approximately 15 acres of land west of the Southern Pacific H.R. tracks for the purpose of relocating the ponds.
