<br />The Judiciary Committee reported that the Gaylord property in the basement
<br />of the City Hall was to be moved to the street Department barn for storage by
<br />the Street Department.
<br />
<br />The Judi~iary Committee, by Chairman Harris, also wished to report that
<br />concerning the Northwest Cities Gas Co. communication, the City Attorney had
<br />prepared the necessary papers. and at this time the City Attorney pointed out
<br />that the Gas Co. had prepared their own franchise ordinance, which called for a
<br />thirty year franchise and a tax of one-tenth of one per cent. This, had been
<br />advertised and had passed its first and second readings, but at the time of its
<br />third reading for its final passage, the Recorder now points out that the
<br />Franchise was amended only granting them a fifteen year term and the tax was to
<br />be the same as in the previous contract, which is one-half of one per cent. How
<br />this error happened to be made is unknown, but that should not make any difference
<br />here, inasmuch as it is the intention of the Council that the contract read one-
<br />half of one per cent, and therefore he had drawn an amendment to the ordinance
<br />changing it from one-fourth to one-half of one per cent and he had so notified the
<br />Company.

<br />An Ordinance amending Section 5 of Ordinance No. 8448 entitled "An Ordinance
<br />granting to the Northwest pities Gas Company, its successors and assigns, a
<br />franchise for the construction and operation of a gas manufacturing plant and/or
<br />a gas distribution system in the Qity of Eugene for a term of fifteen years.",
<br />~roviding for a franchise tax of t of 1%, in place of i of 1%, was read the first
<br />time and passed its second and third reading by title under suspension of the
<br />rule by the unanimous consent of the Council and was placed upon its final passage.
<br />The ayes and nays were called, Councilmen voting aye 6, nay none, absent Reid and
<br />Zumwalt. The Ordinance was declared passed and numbered 8467.

<br />
<br />The Police Committee, by Chairman Simon, reported that the application of
<br />Reese and Brown, for a beer license, which had been held for further consideration
<br />had been withdrawn, and the Recorder pointed out that they were asking for the
<br />return of their $5.00 fee, but the Police Committee recommended that this should
<br />not be returned. It was moved, seconded and carried that this recommendation be
<br />adopted.
<br />
<br />The Zoning Board of Appeals recommended that the request of J. N. Seaver
<br />Mfg. Co. for a reclassification of the property located at 1593 West 5th in order
<br />to erect a lumber storage shed, be not granted, but that a special permit be
<br />granted him to erect this structure provided he comply with the requirements of
<br />the Code covering the desired occupancy. They also recommended that the request
<br />of Simmons Company for a reclassification of the East 30 feet of Lot 8, Lot 9,
<br />and the North half of Lot 10, Block 3, Whitney's Addition to allow the use of the
<br />property as a used car lot, be not granted, but that they be granted a special
<br />permit to establish a Used Car Market on these lots for a period of one year. On
<br />motion, duly seconded and carried their recommendations were adopted.

<br />A letter from the Oregon State Game Commission was presented, in which they
<br />state that they have a deer they would like to give away and the Recorder was
<br />instructed to communicate and find out if this is a doe or buck, and they would
<br />then act.
<br />
<br />At this time Councilman Reid appeared in Council.
<br />
<br />Communication from Commissioner Ralph C. Clyde of Portland was presented, and
<br />a Resolution attached thereto was read, which. provided that the action of the Los
<br />Angeles Police Department in preventing people from entering California be condemne
<br />Mr. Barrette addressed the Council pointing out that he had noticed in the paper
<br />that 65% of those who had been refused admission to the State had previous criminal
<br />record. CounCilman Harris moved that this Resolution be tabled. Councilman Bond
<br />said this might be a good thing, and Councilman Simon pointed out that the Federal
<br />Government in the past few years had transient camps where those people could go
<br />and find suitable care and shelter. Now the Government had stopped this and it was
<br />up to the states, and that is probably why California is doing this. No second
<br />appeared to Councilman Harris's motion, and it was determined to hold this and
<br />find out if Portland had adopted such a resolution.

<br />
<br />The Recorder presented the request of the Park Board for calling for bids for
<br />moving the Caretaker's cottage in the Park. Councilman Carlson was asked if he
<br />knew anything about this, and he reported that he did not have the time to check
<br />into it, but would do it for the next meeting, and it was so ordered.
