All members were present except Councilman Lamb. <br />"...~ <br /> r~ <br /> ' II The minutes of the meeting of August 9, 1937, werE presented and ordered <br />2 Ii filed as there were no corrections appearing. <br /> :1 <br /> il Mr. Victor P. Todd, WPA Engineer, asked that the c,ouncil approve the mon- <br /> il thly expenditure of $125.00 in order that the local sewin~ project might continue <br /> II until the close of the year. After a short discussion, tr.e matter was readily re- <br />13 II ferred to the Finance Committee for consideration. <br /> 'I Mr. G. D. MacLaren, member of the School Board, ae,ked that their rental <br /> il remain at $30.00 instead of $50.00 as recently increased t1Y the council. He sug- <br /> gested that the room now being occupied by the Adult EducE.tion Department be <br /> :1 severed from the School Board office and that the north eI.d of the hall be closed fJ- <br /> 11 off and a private office made for the new superintendent, the school board to fur- <br /> nish all materials and labor and the city in return to leE.ve the rental at $30.00 <br /> i per month. Mr. ~acLaren pointed out that in his estimation this would reduce the <br /> il heating and lighting bill to a very great extent and that to him $30.00 per month <br /> I <br /> 'I would not be out of line. The matter was left in t,ne hanc.s of the Finance Commi t- <br />/4 r tee to report at the next meeting. <br /> I Mr. MacLaren further asked that the council take action in preventing the <br /> I <br /> , <br /> i Pacific Truck Company from parking their trucks in front (If the Frances Willard <br /> School. He stated that the trucks being parked there was in itself a definite <br /> danger to children and greatly inconvenienced parents bringing their children to <br /> school. This was referred to the Police Chief, Carl F. Bergman, to contact the <br /> I, proper parties to request them to park their trucks on thEl east side of the street <br />(5 Ii rather than in front of the school. <br /> I <br /> i In regard to placing in'proper repair the all~y e):tending from Willamette <br /> I <br /> II Street to the rear of the Eugene Hospital by the city, Councilman Carlson reported I <br /> I. that the Street Committee did not wish to take any action without the instruction <br /> Ii of the councIl to proceed by reason of the fact that this would be a matter of <br /> :1 <br /> laying black top in the alley and would cost approximatel~r $100.00 of ~hich sum <br /> II the hospital had agreed to pay ~50.00. Councilman HenderE;hott felt that the city <br /> II should do this. Mr. BDnd believed that the hospital should stand the expense for <br /> II all of it as any other property owner has to do. Mr. Marvin T. Y:arlick, manager <br /> II of the hospital, stated that they could keep the alley in fairly good repair were <br /> 11 it not for the city cars and trucks constantly driving over it. Councilman Carl- <br /> Ii son said that it was not a matter of city trucks but rathElr those of the Eugene <br />611 ~'-ater Board. Upon motion by Councilman Hanns and duly sec:onded, the question was <br /> referred to the Street Committee with power to act. <br />/ Ii Mr. O. O. Beymer who had recently purchased the interest in the Yenne <br /> Plumbing Company, as15ed the council to waive the $50.00 Master Plumber's License <br /> Fee or at least to pro rate the amount for the balance of the year. It was pointe <br /> out that the fee was established as a matter of protection for the local plumbers. <br />7 upon motion made and seconded, the request was denied. <br />I <br /> II Councilman Hendershott, chairman of the Finance Committee, asked for re- '. <br /> II affirmation of the council for purchase of a mimeograph machine for the city of <br /> d <br /> II Eugene. The tater Board is to contribute 50% and the cit~r 50%, the city's share I <br /> I to corne from the emergency fund. Upon motion made and seeonded, the recommendatio <br />, 8 I of the Finance Committee was approved. <br /> I Councilman Hendershott requested that warrants be drawn for payment of <br /> i <br /> I salaries to those who had completed service for the PlaygJ'ound Department, and <br /> I further that those who have not as yet completed but who will shortly, be paid <br />911 from the revolving fund upon duly authorized requisitions" <br />( i <br /> Councilman Hendershott stated that the Finance Corrunittee wished the coun- <br /> I <br />10 II cil to instruct the City Recorder to request the department heads to prepare <br /> estimated budgets for the year 1938 upon proper f.orms whieh had been furnished by <br />/ II the Secretary of State and this was so ordered. ~I <br /> Councilman Hendershott, chairman of the Finance Committee, recommended <br /> II <br /> I. denial of the Thomas D. McHoes offer of $100~90 for Lot 2t Block 5, Hollenbebk <br /> II <br /> Addition and extended a counter-offer of $150.00. For Lo<~ 2, Block 8, Hollenbeck <br /> Addition for which Mr. McHoes had offerred $64.44, the COIrunittee extended a counte - <br />11 !I offer of $100.00.
