Councilman Hendershott moved that the Street Com- 29 mittee be given power to act as they saw best. Motion was seconded and carried. Councilman Bond at the request of the city recorder presented the question as to whether or not the ~estern Box Company should pay for the fire hydrant that they had purchased from the city, recommending'that they be billed for the same. 30 It was moved and 'seconded that the recommendation be accepted and it was so ordered. 31 ~ouncilman Bond reported that he wished to drop the question concerning the installation of a stop sign at Van Buren and Broadway Streets. Councilman Bond stated that he had received considerable complaint from a Mr. John Zimmer who resides directly across the street from the Pierce Machine Shop, which operates both day and night. It appears that the welding a~c that they use is so brilliant that it has been disturbing the Zimmer family~ Councilman Bond 32 added that the machine shop nearby prevented such a condition by shielding the arc when welding. In addition, Mr. Pierce was taking advantage of his location by using public streets to park his equipment. The matter was referred to the City Attorney who is to contact Mr. Pierce and insist that unless this nuisance is abate that the council would be required to pass an ordinance to take care of the situati n. Councilman Hendershott brought up the question concerning the establishment 33 of a private office for the mayor. Councilman Bond stated that a Mr. and Mrs. H. T. Wiltshire had made an ofrer to the city for certain piece of property and said offer had been rejected, but he wanted to know how much the city would take for that property. The Council deter- mined to refer this to the appraisal committee now in effect and they are to bring in a report on this location. Councilman Carlson stated that anytime the city is off~red what they have against a given piece of property that the city should ac- cept the same. The Mayor and Councilman Lamb expressed the opinion that if they had a piece of property that they could get more out of than they have invested in it, they would hold it for the larger amount because some property that the city was holding, they would not get anywheres near out of it what they have in it~ 34 35 Mr. Calkins stated that the council should bear in mind that when an ap- plicant asked to have his property, which had been improved, excused from payment, he in effect, was asking all the other citizens in town to pay for it. Mr. Calkins stated also that in some instances where it was claimed the treasurer had received payment in full of all the assessments, the treasurer had merely receipted that particular improvement, under consideration, as paid in full~ 36 Councilman Hendershott wanted to know how long the council was going to endure Bill Tugman's continuous editorials, stating that the city of Eugene was broke and bankrupt. Mayor Large pointed out that the city was not financially em- barrassed and further that the Recorder was working on a financial report which would prove very enlightening to Mr. Tugman and the citizens of bugene. On motion the Council adjourned. C. M. Bryan Ci ty necorder. ~
