Discussion relative to the subject was " o::t I opened. Mr. Charles A. Hardy, attorney for the Company, asked that the ordi- .:.';) '" nance be amended so as to permit the Company a period of two years rather than ~ ::<~l one year in which to complete the repair work necessary for the restoration of '~,".,,, ~~.... the pavement at a cost of $13,000 the first year and $11,000 the second year. He also ~sked that the annual fee of $1000.00 to b~ paid the city as compensation be stricken out and the 5% of the gross income earned by the Company from trans- portation within the city only be required, pointing out that the city of Portland operated on the latter basis and that their revenue was much less than $1000.00.. Mr. R. s. Bryson, representing 5th Avenue residents stated that the extension from one to two years fov the repair work was satisfactory. tie felt, however, that the city should receive a reasonable franchise fee. Upon motion made, seconded and . du,ly carried, the ordinance was amended to allow the two year period of time. It was moved and seconded that the franchise also carry an annual fee of $1000.00. The ayes and nays were called; councilmen voting aye, Hendershott, Heid, Hanns and Bond; nay, Lamb, Page, ~arrington and Carlson. It being a tie vote, the Mayor was reqUired to cast his vote, which was negative, the motion thereby being lost. It .' was moved and seconded that the fee be placed at $500.00 a year and it was passed by a vote of 6 to.2. Councilmen voting aye, Lamb, Hendershott, Page, Hanns, f:l'ar- /5 rington, Carlson; nay, ~eid and Bond.

Woods, who 1s building a residence at 734 E. 14th and is having some difficulty by reason of the fact that the neighboring garage adjacent thereto is built within two feet of the sidewalk which destroys the building line of that section. He asked that some action be taken to remedy this condition. The ,7 matter was referred to the tiealth Commi'ttee. I Mrs. Catherine Flynn, 612 East Broadway, asked that permission be granted for reclassification of her property located at the southeast corner of the inter- section at Broadway and rattersonbtreet so that she m!ght sell said property for the purpose of the erection-of a service station. Inasmuch as the council from a personal point of view expressed favoritism toward such a request, they felt that I the same could not be allowed by reason of the fact that in the past requests of a similar nature had been denied. Upon motion made, seconded and duly carried, the recommendation of the Bosrd of Appeals to deny this request was herewith sustained /8 by the council. Herbert Lombard, attorney representing Mr. L. H. Dery, Creswell, asked' for cancellation of interest in the amount of $99.84 upon payment of principal, ~p285.l1, on assessments against the north 94.5 feet of the following description: "Commencing at a point 66 feet north of the northwest corner of Block 6, Packard's Addition and running thence east 00 feet, thence north 177 feet to the south line of the right of way, thence west 60 feet, more or less, to a point due north of the beginning point, and thence south to the place of beginning all being in Eugene, /9 Lane County, Oregon.

It was pointed out that Charles T. Frisbee formerly deeded this property to the cit and took a contract back to purchase it from the city, the redemption price to be /11 $349.68 with 6% interest from August 22, 1936.
