<br />Mrs. Warren D. Smith presented a communication which was read,'by the City
<br />Recorder wherein they request the council to call a special election for purpose
<br />of voting upon a special levy for construction of a swimming pool for the city of
<br />Emgene. Mr. Bailey, former owner of the Anchorage swimming pool, addressed the
<br />council concerning this problem, stating that the expenses involved had been very
<br />conservatively stated by the committee presenting the same. Mrs. Smith stated that
<br />the annual operating expenses for the summer months would be in the neighborhood of
<br />$2000 per season and there would have to be an additional levy every year for that
<br />purpose. Mrs. Smith stated that the School Board would cooperate in this matter
<br />in that they would allow the construction of the swLming pool on the 17-acre
<br />recreational tract in return for the city's giving them other city lots of approxi-
<br />mate value. The entire matter Was referred to the chairmen of the Park, Judiciary,
<br />and Finance committees to report at a later meeting.
<br />
<br />Request of Glenn Griffith, President of Consumers' Co-operative Association I
<br />of Lane County,Inc. to cut the cu~b for a distance of twenty feet on the frontage 0

<br />At this time Bryant DeBar, local agent, addressed the council concerning the'r
<br />rejection of the $50,000 surety bond he had written on behalf of city treasurer A.
<br />E. Hulegaard. Mr. DeBar stated that he was a licensed arent and taxpayer and had
<br />been for a good many years while it was his understanding that the business ~as
<br />placed with an agent who doesn't hold a license and who is not a taxpayer. He
<br />further stated that he had called upon the proper city officials prior to writing
<br />the business and he was under the impression that Mr. Hulegaard had the privilege
<br />mf placing the business wherever he wished. That he had cooperated with the City
<br />Recorder in an attempt to have a just distribution of insurance business by volun-
<br />tarily surrendering his participation in the fleet coverage contract. City Attorne~
<br />Calkins in explaining the ordinance governing this, stated that at the time the or-
<br />dinance was passed the city treasurer was required to furnish his own bond upon the
<br />approval of the mayor. But, now, due to the very large bond requirement, the city
<br />and the Water Board pay for the bond, therefore the council has the right to state
<br />where the bond is to be placed. In his opinion the City Treasurer should not dicta e
<br />where the business should be distributed. Councilman Bond felt that inasmuch as
<br />the business had already been given to Marsh Goodwin to let the matter stand and go
<br />on record to return the business to Mr. Bryant DeBar at the end of the year. Upon'
<br />this recommendation, motion was made, seconded and duly carried that this be allowe
<br />and it was so ordered.
<br />
<br />The application of Mabel H. Chadwick to purchase property in Lot 2, Block 20, I
<br />Fairmount against which Lane County has delinquent taxes in the sum of $163.50 and
<br />the city an assessment of $56.59, was presented. The Judiciary Committee in a
<br />written report recommends that Mrs. Chadwick apply to the city for the purchase of
<br />the property. It was revealed that the City has a deed to the property. Appraisal
<br />value is set at $1500 and the city is offering it for sale at $1000. Mrs. Chadwick
<br />desires to purchase it for *220.09.
<br />
<br />The dual offers of Harlow E. Hudson in the amounts of $400.00 cash or $450.0 , I
<br />i90.00 down and the balance 20% or more per year plus 6% interest, for Lots 3,4,5, .
<br />and 6, Block 25, College Hill Park Addition, Was denied by the Finance Committee an
<br />no counter-offer extended. Upon motion made and seconded, this recommendation was
<br />duly approved.
<br />
<br />Second offer of T.J. Casey in the amount of $675.00 for the Kate Bachus prope ty
