Redwood City is receiving many
compliments of late for the manner jim
which its people are pulling together
for the good of the town, said ]. r.
Howell. Of Baldwin & Howell. They
are now about to vote upon a bond
issue incorporating the erection of a
new city hall, the extension of streets
and the erection of concrete conduits
and retaining walls along the county
road They have stood together for
everything that is right and. have en-
couraged the Investment of thousands
Of dollars by outside parties 1t has
been the policy of the board of trustees
10 do everything within their power to
accommodate new residents in every
possible manner, even to the extent of
furnishing temporary improvements to
bridge them over until more permanent
systems could be afforded.
at is not often that 4 town shows
such a broadminded, farsighted spirit,
and l am not surprised that some of
the biggest financial men in the coun-
try are watching Redwood City. I'm
provements for the water front are be-
ing considered, and 1 understand that
a number of large manufacturing con-
Germs are contemplating the removal of
their plants to Redwood All this is

because we are protected by the fire
and police departments and get so many
other privileges we could not other
wise enjoy. For instance, our main
streets in Dingee park are lighted at
the city's expense; we are furnished
with gas, water and electricity, and
protected by the town trustees against
high rates and poor service. We have
telephones at city rates. Our streets
are laid and accepted and taken care of
by the city. The municipal health de-
/ partment looks after sanitation and our
! children have the benefit of city schools
! and libraries.
we enjoy advantages by residing
within the city limits that few people
! appreciate until they experience them.

completed by Carl Beeger. quite way
