Lighting Plan Before Counci 1 A $200,000 street lighting project for the downtown San business district will go before the city council tonight at the regul- lar meeting for preliminary approval and the setting of time for a public hearing on the matter. City Manager Arthur Sullivan reported today that the assessments would be levied on property owaers only in the area affected by the street lighting and would hs based on front footage owned rather than on a square foot assessment. The program is designed to give San Mateo the best lighted business district on the Peninsula said Sullivan. The lights would be similar to the lights now being used by the city on South street and West Fourth avenue near the Levy brothers department store. The council also will set time and place of hearing on the new Hillsdale subdivision unit seven which provides for 153 lots west of Hillsdale boulevard and Thirty- first avenue.

Sullivan stated that the Seal slough drainage basin project would be continued once more by the council spending a final decision on the dipsosal of the dirt fill to be excavated from the drainage basin. A city planning commission recommendation that a billboard advertising the San Mateo animal shelter along Baysbore freeway be denied also will be taken under study.
