' Councilman Stewart said it was the committee's recommendation that the electrical inspector be relieved of the radio work he had. been doj_ng and I that he put in as much time as possible inspecting the old wiring. Amotion by 14 Bond and seconded by Hawn that this report be adopted was carried. y:J t\'. Councilman Stewart reported he had nQthing definite regarding the smoke .:;1 ,- "';".'., and soot complaints. He said the Farmer's Creamery Company was causing a great deal of trouble in this matter and that something should be done to restrict this kind of nuisance. Attorney Calkins was instructed to bring in an ordinance to the effec~ 15 that it would be unlawful for these plants to discharge cinders and black smoke. I Councilman Brownson reporting for the Health Department read a letter fro Dr. Anderson's office signed by H. J. Cloyes in regard to the unsanitary heads on drinking fountains. The letter stated that an investigation had been made by Dr. AIlderson's office and it was an established fact that dysentery could be contacted by the use of the common type of head. Also, that the change over to the angle jets was not excessive in cost and that the court house had made arrangementsfor install~ ~ ~)~ ation of drinking fountains with angle jets and that it would be made at once. A motion was made by Brownson, seconded by Hawn that City Attorney Calkins be instruc- ted to draw an ordinance that would confirm to the recommendation of the Health Office in regard to all drinking fountains in the City. Motion was carried and it' ,_ was agreed the City should replace the heads on the drinking fountains on Broadwa~ 16 and Willarnette and 7th and Willamette. , ' Councilman Hawn reporting for the parks, said that a small deer had been 'I' donated to the G-ity and that proper arrangments had been made with the State Game d. 17 Commission allowing the City to accept the deer. Councilman _Bond stated that this was not a police matter, but he wished to report that he had a complaint regarding an old barn full of straw and about to 18 ~fall down at 1052 West 4th. The matter was referred to the Health Committee. An Ordinance providing for the safe guarding of the use of gasoline and fuel oil together with the installation there of was read for the first time. Representatives of the dealers handling fuel oil were present and their main objec- tion to the ordinance was what they termed being policemen for the City in that they I would not be able to deliver oil in the tanks until theyl~ad been tagged by the building inspector and that the different oil companies would have to furnish a mon- thly list to the building inspector of their customers to whom they were delivering oil. It was pointed out that there were a great number of oil installations that be had been made that the City had no record of and it was the purpose of this ordinanc to find out where these installations were in order that a check may be made on them. Mr. Dickson was present and suggested there were about eleven oil dealers in theCit and that if the City would request these eleven dealers to furnish a list of the different people they knew were using oil that in this way the Citv would get an entire list of all the users. Councilman Stewart said it was through him, that this ordinance was brought in and that while it might work a hardShip on the dealers, he believed that the ordinance as drawn would produce the desired result for the City. After considerable discussion by the Council, the ordinance was laid over for furthe consideration and Mr. StBwart said the committee would meet the different oil dealers and try to work out something that would be satisfactory to both dealers 19 and the City. A letter from the Sam Rugh Realty Company and L. D. Erickson with a reque t for'reclassification of a house at 1411 Agate Street to permit this to be used as a multiple family residence was read. Attorney Calkins reported this matter had come before the Planning Commission but if it wa2 handled in the regular way, it would take a month or more to get any action and that the Planning Commission had referred the matter to the Board of Appeals. The Board of Appeals had decided they had no authority in the matter as the 40use was in a single family residence district and they referred the matter to the Council without any recommendation. The letter I stated the "This house for which we make request for reclassification is a good substantial large eight room plastered double constructed house, and is very well arranged for dividing into a good larg~, light and airy four room apartment down- stairs and a nice three room and a two room apartment upstairs, each with modern plumbing, private bath, built-in kitchen, etc. The lot is 66.7 by 171 which provides ~ luore than ample room for this development. This remodeling job cann all be accom- ~lished with a few small changes in the enteriorarrangement, and with no alterations Ito the outside." It was pointed out that there was a shortage of houses to rent in ~ugene and that by allowing these changes to be made this would increase the housing I' facilities. A motion was made by Stewart that Mr. Erickson be allowed to make this 20 'change as outlined in the letter. Motalon was seconded by Farrington and carried. A ordinance amending section 13 of Ordinance 8413 providing for a sixteen" foot set-back on both sides of 7th Avenue from Pearl Street west to the West City \ ~imits, also for a sixteen foot~set-back on 6th Avenue west from High Street to the I i ~est Citt limits, having had its first and second readings July 28th was read the I Ithirq. time.
