The Recorder reported tha t" Counc ilrnan Hawn had asked him to report regarding funds to complete the garage' tha t had been started at the Park. 1'he original . intention was that the Park, Street and 'Building Inspector would be able to complete the garage after the material had been purchased but it appeared now that '1,.-- they would not have time to do this work after the first of the year and funds would be needed to hire help to complete the garage. Mr. Hawn had requested that the balance of the Park Fund be transferred to a ~pecial fund for this purpose. Councilman Barette stated there was one of the older trucks in the Street Depart- ment that they had agreed to give the Park Department but that it needed about I $50.00 worth of repairs and the Street Department would not have the funds necessar to do this work. Barette 'thought this money should come out of the Park Depart- ment funQ.s.A motion was made by Bond and seconded by Barette that this $50.00 be set as~d~.out of the park department funds to pay for this repair to the truck. 'After s~e discussion about funds for repairs to the garage, a motion was made' by Barette and, seconded by Bond that an amount up to and not ~xceeding $400.00 ? be s~t aside out of the Park Funds to complete this garage. illotion was carried. . . Councilman Bond scUd that automobile traffic in Eugene had increased tremendously in the last year. He said the police department now had one car that had gone about 13,000 miles, one 58,000 miles and one 68,000 miles, and that the department really needed a fourth car at this time. He stated there was money in the ~olice fund for the first six months of 1942 to b~y a new car and it was his recommendation that one of the policemen be sesignated as.a traffic officer ,and tliat he furnish his own car for this work. and the city pay him $25.00 per month for the use of his car and also furnish him gas and oil, and this would 'be the same arrangement. as the two traffic officers now working.
