LOS ALTOS HILLS - The Green Sheets
and Incorporation Platform Statement

The Green Sheets and Incorporation Platform Documents The original Green Sheets as published to the residents in 1965 were created on a typewriter using "stencils" and a "Spirit Duplicator" - this was long before Xerox machines or similar technology were generaly available. Only one "hard copy" paper original is known to still exist - it was donated by Rex Gardiner to the Los Altos History Museum and is stored protected in their archives. Luckily, Rex Gardiner gave me the opportunity to photograph his documents before he passed them on to the museum. He died not long after. Green Sheets Photo images of those sheets may be seen here as a web page with images displaying the six photo images of the original six pages After "The Green Sheets" had succeeded in causing a Ballot vote on Incorporation of Los Altos Hills as a Town, a later derivative document was created and distributed as "The Platform" advocating for a "Yes" vote on the Ballot. Platform for Incorporation Photo images of the "Platform" sheets may be seen here as a web page with images displaying the three photo images of the original three pages   Green Sheets in other Computer-readable formats Being photo images of the originals, the documents are easily readable by a human, but any other computer-based use (such as cutting and pasting a paragraph of the original text into a new document) cannot be achieved using these photo images. Accordingly, in addition to these images, the "Green Sheets" have been processed and are provided in a number of different computer-friendly text formats via the links below: As an HTML file, (Textual content completely re-cast as a conventional web-page) As a Micosoft "Word" file.
