Miss Falvey also proposed that San Mateo county seek slate aid in working through the state spon- county.

He proposed possible expansion of San Francisco's county jail facilities near San Bruno, adding that the physical plant is in existence there, and would thereby cut down I on San Mateo county's capital lay.
