<br /> I:
<br /> Representatives of the Eugene Water Board reported that the Board finds ~
<br /> "
<br /> "
<br /> '. I
<br /> similar problems and difficulties. It was asserted by business men who conduct ':
<br /> ~, .,
<br /> deliveries in the Eugene-Sprin,gfie'ld area, that great difficulty and expense are i:
<br /> : ~
<br /> incurred in locating addresses for deliveries. i ~
<br /> "
<br /> 1~
<br /> It.was stated that co~rection of certain errors in naming or numbering, "
<br /> the: "
<br /> removal of duplicatio~s, and the system9tic numbering of homes on roads and high- r
<br /> I'
<br /> "
<br /> ways would eliminate the difficulties. . J
<br /> t
<br /> As far a~ Eugene is concerned it was agreed that the matter was relatively i'
<br /> minor and fairly easily corrected and adjusted. While much has been said about " f
<br /> .' .
<br /> renaming streets, it was agreed that the major problem was not naming but the .1
<br /> f;
<br /> )'
<br /> establishment of a uniform system of numbering which would apply to Eugene, i!
<br /> Spr ingfi eld, and the entire outlying area. The really big!problem lies in this --
<br /> numbering of the outlying territory, and the most interested persons in this [:
<br /> numbering are Eugene and Springfield business interests, the Eugene Water Board, "
<br /> ~
<br /> the Mountain States Power Company, and the United States postoffices. It was not i'
<br /> offered as a proposition that required concessions by Eugene and Springfield,
<br /> but a matter which called for intelligent planning and for cooperation.
<br /> In the discussions it was a commonly expressed opinion that the development
<br /> of a single base and meridian for the numbering of all streets, roads, and highways
<br /> of the entire metropolitan area would be feasible and desirable at this time. "
<br /> ~
<br /> This might ,require some adjustments in both Springfield and Eugene. At a later r:
<br /> I'
<br /> .I
<br /> time when the territory was more completely built, changes to conform to this plan I.
<br /> I,
<br /> would be more difficult if not impossible. i
<br /> !:
<br /> It is ,the recommendation of the Co~ittee on Public Works that-the City.
<br /> Manager's office be requested to compile the evidence of the need for changes
<br /> in naming or numbering within the City of Eugene, and of the :need for some type ,:
<br /> of uniform numbering in the metropolitan area, and that the committee on Public "
<br /> works be insttucted to continue its study of the problem."
<br /> . .
<br /> It was moved by Crumbaker, seconded by Baile~_ that the report of the Committee be
<br /> received and placed on file and that the report be adopted. Motion carried.
<br /> REPORTS OF OFFICERS I
<br /> "
<br /> A report ;of the City .Manager re: appointment of ~ Municipal Judge pro tem
<br /> 5 was submitted and read as follows:
<br /> ,I,'
<br /> . "I should like to ask your favorable consideration of the appointment of a
<br /> municipal court judge pro tem to act during the absence occasi~ned by il~ness and/
<br /> or vacation of the regularly appointed municipal judge.
<br /> The postponement, of. the regular court sessions during these periods works a
<br /> definite hardship on the Police Dept. on apprehended persons and on the court
<br /> itself. It would, therefore, like to request that the Common Council take action
<br /> to make the necessary pro tem appointment and would suggest that the City Attorney J:
<br /> be.so named." "
<br /> ,.
<br /> . I;
<br /> ~'It was moved by Bailey, seconded by Pennington that the report be received and
<br /> placed on file and that the Council direct the City Recorder ~o act as municipal '.
<br /> judge pro. tem in the absence or inability of the regularly appointed municipal
<br /> judge to serve and that the City Attorney be instructed to prepare an ordinance
<br /> making provision for this pro tem appointment if in his opinion such ordinance is I,
<br /> necessary. Motion carried. \.

<br /> 6 A report of the City 1~nager re: annexation of City Outlook and Inavale areas,~
<br /> was submitted and read as follows: , I
<br /> ~;
<br /> "
<br /> riAt a recent meeting of the Council your body has received petitions for and \;
<br /> against the proposed annexation in the City Outlook and Inavale areas. At the June:
<br /> meeting I was instructed to make a.n analysis of these petitions and submit the "
<br /> ,
<br /> ,
<br /> following for your consideration. ,
<br /> .,
<br /> "
<br /> I find that there is a duplication of names on both petitions, 5 persons having(
<br /> . signed both petitions while 2 property owners have declared themselves on the !,
<br /> petition as being neutral. A re-cap of the petition in favor of an annexation i: I
<br /> election shows that this petition represents 27 residence properties and 4 vacant ~
<br /> properties, with a total of 54 names. Deducting the names of the 7 persons referredt
<br /> to 9bove, would leave a net figure, so to speak of 47 in favor of the annexation. ~ . -);:
<br /> The peti tion opposing annexation contains the signatures of persons representing ::
<br /> . '-20- residences and 6 vacant properties .wi th a total of 46 names. Again deducting I'
<br /> q
<br /> these same 7 names, we find a ne,t figure on the petition "against" of 39. From my l!
<br /> ;,
<br /> investigation I am inclined to believe that the 5 persons whose names appear on "
<br /> both petitions had originally signed the petition opposing the annexation but had "
<br /> !~
<br /> I'
<br /> later changed to a position favoring the proposal. . 1
<br /> ,I
<br /> " . Ii
<br /> \. ',This information is s,ubmitted as per your request and for what further con- "
<br /> I
<br /> sideration and action yo~ wish to give to the annexation petition." L
