"The Borel estate development does appear to rule out that area." said Corlett. The trustees could if necessary acquire the Borel land by condemnation proceedings, but would be forced to pay a high rate for the land. Frank Skillman, county plan-. ning engineer, reported, however, that he was working with the trustees in a close study of one of the.

three Skyline sites listed on the report of the two Stanford professors, Dr. James MacConnell and Dr. William R. Odell. Skillman declined to name the exact site but ruled out the highly-ranked Murray property west of Hillsdale between Twenty-eighth avenue and North Hillsdale place.

This site was tied with Coyote Point for top ranking below the Borel estate. The top Skyline site in the report is the W. W. Crocker property adjacent to Skyline boulevard located across' the road from the Crystal Springs golf course and west of Hillsborough. There are over 100 acres in this site and it was ranked in the survey.

A second Skyline site is the San Francisco county property lying between Skyline boulevard 'and Black Mountain road.

Times to Publish New Map Directory Marking the first improvement 1 in business directories in over 30 years, The Times has begun compilation of a San Mateo Business Map Directory for free distribution in this area. The principal feature of this new book is a copyrighted two-color map of San Mateo, showing on it the exact location of the business firms listed. This large map (20x30 inches) is bound in the book itself.

The precise locations are keyed from the. classified section into the map so simply that child can quickly locate any firm in town. This book is not to be confused with any previous directory. It is filled with beautiful pictures of the city with the accent on annual events featured here, and modern business facilities. Even the classified section is different.

Each page is framed in an art border in keeping with the tone of the brochure section. When completed, the book will be given general free distribution throughout the area, and copies also be mailed to chambers of commerce and travel bureaus in the state. The directory should publicize the city and help to it- tract more of the type-of resi- dents who would enjoy living here. There will be no display advertising anywhere in the classified section. All type will be uniform in size and business listings will be limited as to copy in the interests of uniformity.

In this section will be listed the name, address, phone number and two lines of copy, concerning the lines handled and the services rendered. But most important of all, the newcomer and the strange buyer are shown the exact location of the listed firms so that the buyer is led right to the door. There will be no high-pressure salesmen selling space in this publication. Instead, each firm will receive an invitation by phone to participate in the effort to emphasize the strength of the city's business structure to newcomers and buyers in adjacent towns. There will be merely a nominal listing fee for the firms participating.

If you are new in business, have moved, or are contemplating a move soon, we suggest that vou call our directory department, Diamond 2-011, and make sure your firm is included.
