Q26
that Mrs. J. S. Foster, residing at Ho. 518 Arena Street, had offered to
make a gift of a cypress tree to the City, providing the City would take
the same up and replant it at its own expense. The Board appreciated the
offer, but it appeared from the ensuing discussion that the tree cannot
be suitably wired and decorated because of the density of its foliage, and
by general consent further action in this connection was deferred to permit
of further investigation and consideration by the Board in its entirety.
Trustee Gerow drew attention to the unsightly appearance of the
municipal employees' washroom left standing upon property leased from the
Pacific Electric Railway Company on Eucalyptus Drive, North of Grand Avenue

the Street Superintendent was instructed to ascertain at what price per day
a paint gun could be rented, further action being deferred pending such
advice.
