Court of the City of Burlingame, County of San Mateo, State of
California, together with all other city and similar courts
throughout the State, has been abolished; and

of the City Court of the City of Burlingame, County of San Mateo,
State of California, from the date of his appointment as such

NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED, that the City Council of
the City of Burlingame commends Judge J. A. Branson for the

mortals. He was fair, impartial, decorous, considerate,
deliberate, stern when occasion required, discerning, wise and
learned. The Council regrets his -etirement from the City's
official family and consoles itself only with the thought that he
