'? The committee of Southern Pacific employees complained that in many instances exorbitant rent was being charged in Eugene and that they were asking that the Council adopt a rent control plan similiar to that in effect in Salem and Bend. Mr. Paul W. Campbell stated it was his understanding that the rent control in Salem and Bend was by ordinance drawn by the Council and that he has written them for copies of the ordinance and hoped to have them at an early date. A suggestion was made by Councilman Hawn that the Southern Pacific employees file a written request with the City Recorder asking for the rent control program and that the matter would be considered by the Council at the next meeting. I Representatives of the Humane Society were present and Mayor Large asked if they wished to address the Council at this time. Mr. N.B. Zane explained the difficulty that the Humane Society had experience since the changing of the Eog Control program. He stated that the building and grounds now used by the Humane Society were inade~uate for the present need and that if the Humane Societ was to continue ~ith this work they would have to have additional funds andasked that a cowJnittee be appointed to go with the members of the Humane Society and inspect the'present buildings and equipment. He stated the Society would like to continue the work but that it was almost impossible under the present set- up. Mr. Claypool stated that originally this was supposed to be a s~x months job but that action of the Council to continue keeping the dogs up the full year had made the situation much more diggicult. He stated that the present quarters 4 were not sanitary and it was not wise to take the better dogs to this place. That if the activities were to be continued by the Humane Society improvement would have to be made. Mr. Frank Hill also was present and stressed the need for additional and better equipment. The Council felt that the Humane Society had made an honest effort in this work and were fayorable to a continuation of the work b the society but were unable to advance any extra money during the fiscal year. Mayor Large said he had numberous complaints regarding the dogs running at large and Mr. Claypool said he realized that this situation did exist Mr. Claypool said that the dog catcher had turned in his resignation but that ~they had indused him to continue the work and that he had picked up about 80 dogs in the last month. Councilman Hawn said the Police Committee would be glad to meet with the Humane Society and see if a plan could be worked out to continue the work on the present allotment of funds for the remainder of this fiscal year, the committee to report back at the next Council meeting.
