As the four other board members have remarked on occasion. "If Mr.

Watson, operator of a San Carlos flying service, was found guilty by a municipal court jury, here yesterday of a charge of disturbing the peace. He was acquitted of other charges af assault and battery and burning without a permit The charges grew out of ah incident at The San Carlos airport when Watson reportedly squirted two county firemen with a garden hase when they sought to persuade him to put out an illegal fire.

Municipal Judge Edward Ryan set 8:30 a.m., October 25, as the time and date for sentencing on the misdemeanor conviction.

"Unfortunately," he added, "these premeeting discussions are held in the small caucus, room in the rear of the council chambers and consequently not all of the public can attend if they want to." He added. am confident that sooner or later these meetings would be held in public just as the other meetings of the council are held." Mystery 'Mike' Is S.S.F.

Youth REDWOOD CITY', Oct. 20. A 10 year old boy named Mike, who had authorities baffied yesterday about his identity, turned out to be a 9 year old bov named Jimmy today. The boy was picked up at Mills Field Tuesday night and taken to Hitlcrest juvenile home. He told authorities that he was 10 and his name was Michael, that he flew here from Elwood, and that he had been staying with an aunt in Brisbane.

Other than that juvenile officers could net get much information out of the boy. Yesterday afternoon they drove him arourrn the streets of Bris bane on the chance that he would recognize his aunt's house, that someone would recognize him, After hours they came upon a construction worker who thought he recognized the boy as a relative of a service station attendant in South San Francisco. Checking out the lead liiey learned that the boy is the son Df and Urn. Vaun Nelson, 1153 Francisco. His mother said she had not seen Jicr son since she sent him out Tuesday morning to empty the garbage can.

Jimmy told authorities that he went to Brisbane, where he played all day Tuesday. Then he made his way to the airport Tuesday night. He said he had hoped to stow away on an airplane and I'isit relatives on a farm in El ood.

Margaret rode solemnly to the dinner party with Queen Mother Elizabeth, who is reported to have supported her 15 year ald daughter in her desire to marry Tcwhsend. Queen Elizabeth, who is official head of the church, went with her husband who is reported to frown on the contemplated marriage. Private Talk The Daily Mirror reported ex clusively that the royal family 15 min itcs in tx. the archbishop and his wife in a pri vate talk with the archbishop and siN senior bishgps after the meal.

But as far as could be sleaned from other sources the royal family had no opportunity to talk alone with the archbishop. These sources said at one stage Princess Mar garet stood for 20 minutes talking with a proLip which included the archhishop.

So far the only official notice taken of the uproar by the royal family was a statement issued last Friday that no announcement concerning the personal affairs of the princess was "at present contemplated." That was the day after Town send, on leave from his post of British air attache in Brussels, and Margaret met for the first time in two years. Beginning with this meeting in Clarence House, the residence of Margaret and the Queen Mother, they saw each other daily until yesterday. One guess was that the princess and her suitor were being thrown together by the royal family to sec iE she likes him him as well at as she did at 23. it developed that she did not, the match presumably would be off no statement by the royal family would ever be issued Stock Market NEW YORK ra The stock market's fifth straight advance today ran into light selling at the close, but final prices were close to their best.

Atkinson added, "To take an intelligent view of the matter, we must be armed with an economic study. Wc must have some idea of liow much, taxes will be paid sy the iuiivitbal r.orr.e uver We must know what tax increase will be reflected in good shopping centers, in office building developments, in industry and other factors must bo taken inLo consideration. All Depends on Study "Again vc require a careful engineering analysis and ir.dustrial survey to determine if the land is suitable for use by industry and what industry would want it, if it wants to come in, and if it is obtainable under conditions to attract industry." "Perhaps this is the time then La have a comprehensive plan and economic survey of a greater San Mateo, taking in Brewer Island and the hill country, and to have our information drawn up so that we can talk about facis rather than without them." Accentuating the inier relationship of the many factors in the county's continuing development is the recognition of (lie fact that tor example, a 'balanced residential business industrial program for Brewer Island would mean many years of productivity for the build ing industry.

Thousands of em playes, millions dollars in pay rolls, channelled ir.to local markets are good for the city and county In turn, stimulus of trade sets up reactions in other economic nerve centers of the community With building comes expansion in the local lumber business, hard ware sales, rjOrr.e furnishings and the myriad of interlocking inter ests, which join to keep the wheel of economic prosperity turning. School Problems At the same time, observers have noted that in promoting home development, residents who live here are of the kind who attract location af professional adminis tration centers because they are the ideal white collar labor mar ket from which to draw. On the red side of the ledger, it is recognized that extensive home development on Brewer island would mean a mullimillion dollar school tax bill alone. Atkinson said in his objective analysis that should Brewer island ever go completely residential, which he did not envision as likely, a square look at the facts would show the need for some 55 acres in parks; a 40 acrc shopping center; a 35 acre high school site duplicating Hillsdale High at a cost of some a 25 acrc junior high school site costing S500.000; and ID kindergarten to sixth grade elementary, schools of about seven acres eacn, represem a lump sum of close to ,700,000. Reeonunenda lions Withheld In producing the statistics corn piled by the city during a cursory study of Brewer island some three years ago, Atkinson was em phatic in saying, "By examining the situation, we arc not advocat ing one type of development for the area against the other.

It is to be recognized that have an 1 awareness ct the potential prob lems of the area, it is not to be interpreted as a position on the part of our office. As yet we do not have sufficient facts to make a positive recommendation." The school bill would be only one of the major residential development costs of Brewer island to face the school district taxpayers. Besides the initial investment there is the need Id staff the schools and the program of maintenance over the years ahead. Added together, the disadvantages tax wise mean more police service, more fire protection, sanitary facilities, more street. to keep up, mnre park to maintain.

Even those most firmly apposed to residential uses on Brewer island do concede, however, that construction of the more expensive $20,000 homes and development of industry, plus a good business center on a balanced basis could aid toward making the area self sustaining from a tax standpoint. And there are those in both official and unofficial capacity in the city and county who warr. that the tide of growth in the bay area cannot be stemmed There will come more people, more homes, more business. The face and the character of the quiet, suburban communities of the Peninsula arc becoming a thins of the past, far more rapidly than many care to see, Observers further have taken occasion to note that following the' first development will come the rest of Brewer island, with the resultant need to fill, trans portation of fill off the hills to the west, and the spurring ol the hillside development in the community, That much of this would be good far the county, many agreed.

huh I discourage any but industrial development. Wide Debate Due City and county officials already stand prepared to meet an onslaught of controversial public opinion on the subject of the development of Brewer island: Just what effect such an offi cial position opposing any but industrial development on the area would havn is. a moot point, agree councilmen, supervisors and planners. City observers note that there are those who argue that a man who holds a valuable piece of properly is entitled to legal profit making use of it. How far the city or county could hold back the development on the grounds that some day the area could develop industrially, is a major question of today.

There are those who have pointed out that already there has been the prospect raised of Brewer Island becoming a fifth class city in the event San Mateo turns its back on annexation. How would it be tD allow it to develop outside of close city supervision is questioned, particularly since the ma.ior school district tax would still affect local taxpayer. However the return in property taxes off homes. Business cen ters, and industry wauld then be channelled away from the cily In making Brewer Island usable for any construction, it has further been recognized, reluctantly in some quarters, that fill trucking again would come to the fore as an attendant major problem. Toward the end that it be kept, to a minimum, early development a Nineteenth avenue as a major east west arterial, and an established truck route, is daily urged.

As Planning Director Atkinson put it, "We cannot solve our problems by hiding from them. They are now upon bs, nd this is the time when we can begin to strive for balance and compromise in seeking solutions and reaching a point of understanding." Haberlin in Sat. Eve.
